Job 5:1-9

1. 1 Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?

2. 2 For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.

3. 3 I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.

4. 4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.

5. 5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.

6. 6 Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;

7. 7 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.

8. 8 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:

9. 9 Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:
