Job 5:2-11
-
2 For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
-
3 I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
-
4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.
-
5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
-
6 Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
-
7 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
-
8 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
-
9 Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:
-
10 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
-
11 To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
