Job  


5 : 1 Call now, is there anyone who will answer you? And to which of the holy ones will you turn?
5 : 2 For anger slays the foolish man, And jealousy kills the simple.
5 : 3 I have seen the foolish taking root, And I cursed his abode immediately.
5 : 4 His sons are far from safety, They are even oppressed in the gate, And there is no deliverer.
5 : 5 His harvest the hungry devour And take it to a place of thorns, And the schemer is eager for their wealth.
5 : 6 For affliction does not come from the dust, Nor does trouble sprout from the ground,
5 : 7 For man is born for trouble, As sparks fly upward.
5 : 8 But as for me, I would seek God, And I would place my cause before God;
5 : 9 Who does great and unsearchable things, Wonders without number.
5 : 10 He gives rain on the earth And sends water on the fields,
5 : 11 So that He sets on high those who are lowly, And those who mourn are lifted to safety.
5 : 12 He frustrates the plotting of the shrewd, So that their hands cannot attain success.
5 : 13 He captures the wise by their own shrewdness, And the advice of the cunning is quickly thwarted.
5 : 14 By day they meet with darkness, And grope at noon as in the night.
5 : 15 But He saves from the sword of their mouth, And the poor from the hand of the mighty.
5 : 16 So the helpless has hope, And unrighteousness must shut its mouth.
5 : 17 Behold, how happy is the man whom God reproves, So do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.
5 : 18 For He inflicts pain, and gives relief; He wounds, and His hands also heal.
5 : 19 From six troubles He will deliver you, Even in seven evil will not touch you.
5 : 20 In famine He will redeem you from death, And in war from the power of the sword.
5 : 21 You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, And you will not be afraid of violence when it comes.
5 : 22 You will laugh at violence and famine, And you will not be afraid of wild beasts.
5 : 23 For you will be in league with the stones of the field, And the beasts of the field will be at peace with you.
5 : 24 You will know that your tent is secure, For you will visit your abode and fear no loss.
5 : 25 You will know also that your descendants will be many, And your offspring as the grass of the earth.
5 : 26 You will come to the grave in full vigor, Like the stacking of grain in its season.
5 : 27 Behold this; we have investigated it, and so it is. Hear it, and know for yourself.
