Job 4:7 Context
5But now it is come vpon thee, and thou faintest, it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled. 6Is not this thy feare, thy confidence; the vprightnesse of thy wayes and thy hope? 7Remember, I pray thee, who euer perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off? 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.

Wesley's Notes for Job 4:7
4:7 Innocent - Therefore thou art guilty of some great, though secret crimes, and thy sin hath now found thee out. Cut off - By the sickle of Divine vengeance before his time, which is like to be thy case. Eliphaz here advances another argument to prove Job an hypocrite; taken not only from his impatience under afflictions, but from his afflictions themselves.
