5Job 5

1Call now, if there be any that will answer you; and to which of the saints will you turn?Select Job 5:1

2For wrath kills the foolish man, and envy slays the silly one.Select Job 5:2

3I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.Select Job 5:3

4His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.Select Job 5:4

5Whose harvest the hungry eats up, and takes it even out of the thorns, and the robber swallows up their substance.Select Job 5:5

6Although affliction comes not forth of the dust, neither does trouble spring out of the ground;Select Job 5:6

7Yet man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.Select Job 5:7

8I would seek to God, and to God would I commit my cause:Select Job 5:8

9Which does great things and unsearchable; marvelous things without number:Select Job 5:9

10Who gives rain on the earth, and sends waters on the fields:Select Job 5:10

11To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.Select Job 5:11

12He disappoints the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.Select Job 5:12

13He takes the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the fraudulent is carried headlong.Select Job 5:13

14They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in the night.Select Job 5:14

15But he saves the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.Select Job 5:15

16So the poor has hope, and iniquity stops her mouth.Select Job 5:16

17Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects: therefore despise not you the chastening of the Almighty:Select Job 5:17

18For he makes sore, and binds up: he wounds, and his hands make whole.Select Job 5:18

19He shall deliver you in six troubles: yes, in seven there shall no evil touch you.Select Job 5:19

20In famine he shall redeem you from death: and in war from the power of the sword.Select Job 5:20

21You shall be hid from the whip of the tongue: neither shall you be afraid of destruction when it comes.Select Job 5:21

22At destruction and famine you shall laugh: neither shall you be afraid of the beasts of the earth.Select Job 5:22

23For you shall be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.Select Job 5:23

24And you shall know that your tabernacle shall be in peace; and you shall visit your habitation, and shall not sin.Select Job 5:24

25You shall know also that your seed shall be great, and your offspring as the grass of the earth.Select Job 5:25

26You shall come to your grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn comes in in his season.Select Job 5:26

27See this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know you it for your good.Select Job 5:27
