Job 5:1-10 ▼

1 Call now; is there any that will answer thee? And to which of the holy ones wilt thou turn?

2 For anger killeth the foolish man, And envy slayeth the silly one.

3 I have seen the foolish taking root; But suddenly I beheld his habitation cursed.

4 His children are far from safety, And are crushed in the gate, with none to deliver them.

5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, And taketh it even out of the thorns, and the snare gapeth for their substance.

6 For affliction cometh not forth from the dust, Neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;

7 But man is born unto trouble, As the sparks fly upward.

8 But as for me, I would seek unto God, And unto God would I commit my cause;

9 Who doeth great things and unsearchable, Marvellous things without number;

10 Who giveth rain upon the earth, And sendeth waters upon the fields;
