Job|5:1|-|Call now! Is there anyone who will answer you?And to which of the holy ones will you turn?
Job|5:2|-|Surely |a|vexation slays the fool,And jealousy kills the simpleton.
Job|5:3|-|I have seen the fool taking root,But suddenly I cursed his habitation.
Job|5:4|-|His children are far from safety,And they are crushed in the gate; and there is no one to deliver them.
Job|5:5|-|The hungry eat his harvestAnd |1|even take it out from the thorns,
And the |2|thirsty pant after |3|his wealth.
Job|5:6|-|For evil does not come forth from the dust,Nor does trouble spring forth from the ground.
Job|5:7|-|But man is born unto |a|trouble,Just as sparks fly upward.
Job|5:8|-|But as for me, I would seek after God,And I would commit my cause to God,
Job|5:9|-|Who does great things that cannot be |a|searched,Wonderful deeds that cannot be numbered;
Job|5:10|-|Who gives |a|rain upon the surface of the earthAnd sends water upon the surface of the fields;
Job|5:11|-|Who sets on |a|high those who are lowlyAnd puts those who |b|mourn safely above all.
Job|5:12|-|He frustrates the devices of the crafty,So that their hands achieve no enterprise.
Job|5:13|-||a|He seizes the |b|wise in their own craftiness,And the counsel of the wily is brought to a sudden end.
Job|5:14|-|By day they encounter darkness,And at noon they grope about as in the night.
Job|5:15|-|But He saves the needy from the sword of their mouth,From the hand of the strong.
Job|5:16|-|Thus the poor have hope,And Injustice stops her mouth.
Job|5:17|-|Indeed, |a|blessed is the man whom God corrects;Therefore do not reject the |1b|chastening of the |2|Almighty.
Job|5:18|-|For He wounds, but He binds up;He strikes, but His hands |a|heal.
Job|5:19|-|In six troubles He will deliver you;Indeed in seven no evil will touch you.
Job|5:20|-|In famine He will redeem you from death,And in battle, from the power of the sword.
Job|5:21|-|From the scourge of the tongue you will be hidden,And you will not be afraid of destruction when it comes.
Job|5:22|-|At destruction and at famine you will laugh,And you will not be afraid of the animals of the earth.
Job|5:23|-|For you will be in an alliance with the stones of the field,And the animals of the field will be at peace with you.
Job|5:24|-|And you will know that your tent is at peace,And you will inspect your fold and miss nothing.
Job|5:25|-|And you will know that your seed will be great,And your offspring like the grass of the earth.
Job|5:26|-|You will come to the grave at a ripe old age,Like a shock of grain |1|coming up in its season.
Job|5:27|-|This is it. We have searched it out; it is so.Hear then and know it for yourself.
