chapter_Job_5
Job 5:1: Pray, call, is there any to answer thee? And unto which of the holy ones dost thou turn? Job 5:2: For provocation slayeth the perverse, And envy putteth to death the simple, Job 5:3: I &#8212; I have seen the perverse taking root, And I mark his habitation straightway, Job 5:4: Far are his sons from safety, And they are bruised in the gate, And there is no deliverer. Job 5:5: Whose harvest the hungry doth eat, And even from the thorns taketh it, And the designing swallowed their wealth. Job 5:6: For sorrow cometh not forth from the dust, Nor from the ground springeth up misery. Job 5:7: For man to misery is born, And the sparks go high to fly. Job 5:8: Yet I &#8212; I inquire for God, And for God I give my word, Job 5:9: Doing great things, and there is no searching. Wonderful, till there is no numbering. Job 5:10: Who is giving rain on the face of the land, And is sending waters on the out-places. Job 5:11: To set the low on a high place, And the mourners have been high in safety. Job 5:12: Making void thoughts of the subtile, And their hands do not execute wisdom. Job 5:13: Capturing the wise in their subtilty, And the counsel of wrestling ones was hastened, Job 5:14: By day they meet darkness, And as night &#8212; they grope at noon. Job 5:15: And He saveth the wasted from their mouth, And from a strong hand the needy, Job 5:16: And there is hope to the poor, And perverseness hath shut her mouth. Job 5:17: Lo, the happiness of mortal man, God doth reprove him: And the chastisement of the Mighty despise not, Job 5:18: For He doth pain, and He bindeth up, He smiteth, and His hands heal. Job 5:19: In six distresses He delivereth thee, And in seven evil striketh not on thee. Job 5:20: In famine He hath redeemed thee from death, And in battle from the hands of the sword. Job 5:21: When the tongue scourgeth thou art hid, And thou art not afraid of destruction, When it cometh. Job 5:22: At destruction and at hunger thou mockest, And of the beast of the earth, Thou art not afraid. Job 5:23: (For with sons of the field is thy covenant, And the beast of the field Hath been at peace with thee.) Job 5:24: And thou hast known that thy tent is peace, And inspected thy habitation, and errest not, Job 5:25: And hast known that numerous is Thy seed, And thine offspring as the herb of the earth; Job 5:26: Thou comest in full age unto the grave, As the going up of a stalk in its season. Job 5:27: Lo, this &#8212; we searched it out &#8212; it is right, hearken; And thou, know for thyself!
