Job 5:1-10 ▼

1 Crye I pray thee, if there be any that will aunswere thee, & loke thou vpon any of the holy.

2 As for the foolish ma, wrathfulnesse killeth him, and enuie slayeth the ignorant.

3 I haue seene my selfe when the foolish was deepe rooted, and sodenly I cursed his habitation.

4 His children were without prosperitie, and they were slayne in the gate, and there was no man to deliuer them.

5 His haruest was eaten of the hungrie, & taken from among the thornes, and the thurstie drunke vp their labour: It is not the earth that bringeth foorth iniquitie,

6 Neither commeth sorowe out of the ground:

7 But man is borne vnto labour, like as the sparkes flee vp out of the hot coles,

8 But I woulde aske counsell at the Lorde, and talke with God?

9 Whiche doth great thinges and vnsearcheable, and maruels without number.

10 He geueth rayne vpon the earth, and powreth water vpon the streetes,
