Job 5:1-4 ▼

1 “Call now —is there anyone who will answer you? And to which of the holy ones (angels) will you turn?

2 “For anger slays the foolish man, And jealousy kills the simple (naive).

3 “I have seen the foolish taking root [and outwardly prospering], But I cursed his dwelling immediately [for his destruction was certain].

4 “His children are far from safety [and included in their father’s ruin], They are oppressed and crushed in the [court of justice in the city’s] gate, And there is no one to rescue them.
