| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1"Cry out, won't you! Is there anyone who will answer you? To whom will you turn among the holy ones? |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2For wrath will slay a fool; zealous anger will kill the naive. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3"I myself saw a fool becoming established, but I suddenly cursed where he lived. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4His children are far from deliverance; they'll be maltreated before they leave home, with no one to rescue them. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Then the hungry will devour his harvest, snatching it even from the midst of thorns, while the thirsty covet their wealth. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6For wickedness doesn't crop up from dust, nor does trouble sprout out of the ground; |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7But mankind is born headed for trouble, just as sparks soar skyward." |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8"Now as for me, I would seek God if I were you; I would commit my case to God. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9He is always doing great things that cannot be explained, countless awesome deeds. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10He sends rain on the surface of the earth, and waters the surface of the open country. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11He sets the lowly on high, and lifts those who mourn to safety. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12He frustrates the plans of the crafty; so that what they work for never succeeds. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13He captures the wise in their own craftiness, bringing a quick end to their cunning advice. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14They meet with darkness in broad daylight; at noonday they grope around as if it were night. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15So he delivers from the sword of their mouth— the poor from the power of the mighty. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Therefore there is hope for those who are poor, and iniquity shuts its mouth. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17"Indeed, how blessed is the person whom God reproves! So never disrespect the discipline of the Almighty, |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18because though he wounds, but then applies bandages; though he strikes, his hands still heal. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19"He will deliver you through six calamities; and calamity won't touch you throughout the seventh. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20He will deliver you from death by famine; in war from the power of the sword. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21You'll be protected from the accusing tongue; you need not fear destruction when it heads your way. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22You'll laugh at destruction and famine; and you need not fear the beasts of the earth. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23For you'll have a pact with the stones in the field; and the beasts of the field will be at peace with you. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24You'll know that your home is secure; when you search your possessions, and nothing will be missing. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25You'll know that you'll have many children; and that your offspring will be like the grass of the earth. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26You'll go to your grave at a ripe old age; like a stack of grain that's harvested at just the right time. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27"Look! We have thought all this through, and what we've said is true; So please listen and learn for your own good!" |
