The Doctrine of Retribution

Job 4:7-11

"Think back: what innocent person has perished? Since when are the upright destroyed?

What I see is that those who plow sin and sow trouble reap just that.

At a breath from God, they perish; at a blast from his anger, they are consumed.

The lion may growl, the king lion may roar, but that old lion's teeth are broken;

so the lion succumbs from lack of prey, and the lion's cubs are scattered.
