Job 5

1Call now, if there be any that will answer you; and to which of the saints will you turn? 2For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one. 3I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation. 4His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither any to deliver . 5Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance. 6Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither does trouble spring out of the ground; 7Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. 8I would seek unto Elohim, and unto Elohim would I commit my cause: 9Which does great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number: 10Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields: 11To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety. 12He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform enterprise. 13He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong. 14They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night. 15But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty. 16So the poor has hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth. 17Behold, happy the man whom Elohim correcteth: therefore despise not you the chastening of the Almighty: 18For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole. 19He shall deliver you in six troubles: yes, in seven there shall no evil touch you. 20In famine he shall redeem you from death: and in war from the power of the sword. 21you shall be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shall you be afraid of destruction when it cometh. 22At destruction and famine you shall laugh: neither shall you be afraid of the beasts of the earth. 23For you shall be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you. 24And you shall know that your tabernacle in peace; and you shall visit your habitation, and shall not sin. 25you shall know also that your seed great, and your offspring as the grass of the earth. 26you shall come to grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season. 27Lo this, we have searched it, so it ; hear it, and know you for your good.
