Job 5:1-5

1Call out! Will anyone answer you? Which of the holy ones will you turn to?

2For anger kills a fool, and jealousy slays the gullible.

3I have seen a fool taking root, but I immediately pronounced a curse on his home.

4His children are far from safety. They are crushed at the city gate, with no one to rescue them.

5The hungry consume his harvest, even taking it out of the thorns. The thirsty pant for his children’s wealth.
