Verse
Job - ch 5 v 1 - 20
- Call now, if there is 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, neither is there any to deliver them.
- 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 from the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
- Yet man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
- I would seek to God, and to God would I commit my cause:
- Who doeth great things and unsearchable; wonderful things without number:
- Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
- To set on high those that are low: that those who mourn may be exalted to safety.
- He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
- He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
- They meet with darkness in the day-time, and grope in the noon-day 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, happy is the 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 will deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
- In famine he will redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
