Job 5
|
|
| 5:1 Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the
saints wilt thou turn? |
 (5:1-27) "Call now, if there be any that will answer thee....."
|
| 5:2
For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one. |
|
| 5:3
I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation. |
|
| 5:4
His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate,
neither is there any to deliver them. |
|
| 5:5
Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns,
and the robber swalloweth up their substance. |
|
| 5:6
Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble
spring out of the ground; |
|
| 5:7
Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. |
|
| 5:8
I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause: |
|
| 5:9
Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without
number: |
|
| 5:10
Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields: |
|
| 5:11
To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted
to safety. |
|
| 5:12
He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot
perform their enterprise. |
|
| 5:13
He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward
is carried headlong. |
|
| 5:14
They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in
the night. |
|
| 5:15
But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand
of the mighty. |
|
| 5:16
So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth. |
|
| 5:17
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou
the chastening of the Almighty: |
|
| 5:18
For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole. |
|
| 5:19
He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil
touch thee. |
|
| 5:20
In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of
the sword. |
|
| 5:21
Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be
afraid of destruction when it cometh. |
|
| 5:22
At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid
of the beasts of the earth. |
|
| 5:23
For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts
of the field shall be at peace with thee. |
|
| 5:24
And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt
visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin. |
|
| 5:25
Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as
the grass of the earth. |
|
| 5:26
Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh
in in his season. |
|
| 5:27
Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy
good.
