Job 5:1-5

1“Call now—is there anyone who will answer you? And to which of the holy ones (angels) will you turn?

2For anger slays the foolish man, And jealousy kills the simple (naive).

3I have seen the foolish taking root [and outwardly prospering], But I cursed his dwelling immediately [for his destruction was certain].

4His children are far from safety [and included in their father’s ruin], They are oppressed and crushed in the [court of justice in the city’s] gate, And there is no one to rescue them.

5The hungry devour his harvest And take it even [when it grows] among the thorns; The trap opens for [his] wealth.
