Job 5:2-7

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.

6For distress does not grow out of the soil, and trouble does not sprout from the ground.

7But humans are born for trouble as surely as sparks fly upward.
