Job 5:6-11

6Certainly, sorrow doesn’t come from the soil, and trouble doesn’t sprout from the ground.

7But a person is born for trouble as surely as sparks fly up ⌞from a fire⌟.

8“But I would seek God’s help and present my case to him.

9He does great things that ⌞we⌟ cannot understand and miracles that ⌞we⌟ cannot count.

10He gives rain to the earth and sends water to the fields.

11He places lowly people up high. He lifts those who mourn to safety.
