| Job 5:3 | I have seen the foolish taking root, But suddenly I cursed his habitation. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 5:4 | His children are far from safety, They are crushed in the gate. Neither is there any to deliver them, | |||||||||||||||
| Job 5:5 | Whose harvest the hungry eats up, Takes it even out of the thorns; The snare gapes for their substance. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 5:6 | For affliction doesn't come forth from the dust, Neither does trouble spring out of the ground; | |||||||||||||||

| Job 5:9 | Who does great things that can't be fathomed, Marvelous things without number; | |||||||||||||||
| Job 5:10 | Who gives rain on the earth, And sends waters on the fields; | |||||||||||||||
| Job 5:11 | So that he sets up on high those who are low, Those who mourn are exalted to safety. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 5:12 | He frustrates the devices of the crafty, So that their hands can't perform their enterprise. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 5:13 | He takes the wise in their own craftiness; The counsel of the cunning is carried headlong. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 5:14 | They meet with darkness in the day-time, And grope at noonday as in the night. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 5:15 | But he saves from the sword of their mouth, Even the needy from the hand of the mighty. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 5:16 | So the poor has hope, And injustice shuts her mouth. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 5:17 | "Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects: Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 5:18 | For he wounds, and binds up; He injures, and his hands make whole. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 5:19 | He will deliver you in six troubles; Yes, in seven there shall no evil touch you. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 5:20 | In famine he will redeem you from death; In war, from the power of the sword. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 5:21 | You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, Neither shall you be afraid of destruction when it comes. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 5:22 | At destruction and dearth you shall laugh, Neither shall you be afraid of the animals of the earth. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 5:23 | For you shall be in league with the stones of the field. The animals of the field shall be at peace with you. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 5:24 | You shall know that your tent is in peace. You shall visit your fold, and shall miss nothing. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 5:25 | You shall know also that your seed shall be great, Your offspring as the grass of the earth. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 5:26 | You shall come to your grave in a full age, Like a shock of grain comes in its season. | |||||||||||||||
| Job 5:27 | Look this, we have searched it, so it is; Hear it, and know it for your good." | |||||||||||||||
