Job - Chapter 5 - King James Version
- Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?
- For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
- I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
- His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neitheris thereany to deliverthem.
- Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
- Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
- Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
- I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
- Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:
- Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
- To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
- He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot performtheirenterprise.
- He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
- They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
- But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
- So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
- Behold, happyisthe man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
- For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
- He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
- In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
- Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
- At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
- For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
- And thou shalt know that thy tabernacleshall bein peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
- Thou shalt know also that thy seedshall begreat, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
- Thou shalt come tothygrave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.
- Lo this, we have searched it, so itis;hear it, and know thouitfor thy good.
