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