Job  


5 : 1 Call if you will, but who will answer you? To which of the holy ones will you turn?
5 : 2 Resentment kills a fool, and envy slays the simple.
5 : 3 I myself have seen a fool taking root, but suddenly his house was cursed.
5 : 4 His children are far from safety, crushed in court without a defender.
5 : 5 The hungry consume his harvest, taking it even from among thorns, and the thirsty pant after his wealth.
5 : 6 For hardship does not spring from the soil, nor does trouble sprout from the ground.
5 : 7 Yet man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward.
5 : 8 But if it were I, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him.
5 : 9 He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.
5 : 10 He bestows rain on the earth; he sends water upon the countryside.
5 : 11 The lowly he sets on high, and those who mourn are lifted to safety.
5 : 12 He thwarts the plans of the crafty, so that their hands achieve no success.
5 : 13 He catches the wise in their craftiness, and the schemes of the wily are swept away.
5 : 14 Darkness comes upon them in the daytime; at noon they grope as in the night.
5 : 15 He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth; he saves them from the clutches of the powerful.
5 : 16 So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth.
5 : 17 Blessed is the man whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.
5 : 18 For he wounds, but he also binds up; he injures, but his hands also heal.
5 : 19 From six calamities he will rescue you; in seven no harm will befall you.
5 : 20 In famine he will ransom you from death, and in battle from the stroke of the sword.
5 : 21 You will be protected from the lash of the tongue, and need not fear when destruction comes.
5 : 22 You will laugh at destruction and famine, and need not fear the beasts of the earth.
5 : 23 For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field, and the wild animals will be at peace with you.
5 : 24 You will know that your tent is secure; you will take stock of your property and find nothing missing.
5 : 25 You will know that your children will be many, and your descendants like the grass of the earth.
5 : 26 You will come to the grave in full vigor, like sheaves gathered in season.
5 : 27 We have examined this, and it is true. So hear it and apply it to yourself.
