Job 5:1 - 5:7

« Job 4 | Job 5 | Job 6 »

The Discipline of the Almighty

“Call now, is there anyone who will answer you?

And to which of the holy ones will you turn?

2

For vexation kills the ignorant fool,

And jealousy puts to death the simple.

3

I have seen the ignorant fool taking root,

And I cursed his abode suddenly.

4

His sons are far from salvation,

They are even crushed in the gate,

And there is no deliverer.

5

His harvest the hungry devour

And take it to a place of thorns,

And the schemer pants after their wealth.

6

For wickedness does not come out from the dust,

Nor does trouble sprout from the ground,

7

For man is born for trouble,

As sparks fly upward.
