Job 4:10 Context
8Euen as I haue seene, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickednsse, reape the same. 9By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed. 10The roaring of the Lyon, and the voice of the fierce Lyon, and the teeth of the yong Lyons are broken. 11The old Lyon perisheth for lacke of pray, and the stout Lyons whelpes are scattered abroad. 12Nowe a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine eare receiued a litle thereof.

Bible commentary
Wesley's Notes for Job 4:10
4:10 The roaring - Nor can they escape, even were they strong as lions, yea, as the strongest and fiercest of them. Broken - Which is true literally; the lions when taken having most commonly their teeth broken, as ancient and modern writers relate. But this is meant of powerful tyrants, who are fitly compared to lions, #Ezek 32:2 38:13|, who though for a time they persecute and oppress other men, yet in due time they are restrained, and broken, and crushed in pieces by the mighty power of God. Possibly he may secretly accuse Job, or his children, that being persons of great wealth and power, they had abused it to ruin their neighbours, and therefore were justly cut off.
