Job 5

New American Standard Bible 1995

God Is Just

1“CallH7121 nowH4994, is thereH3426 anyone who will answerH6030 you? And to whichH4310 of the 1holyH6918 onesH6918 will you turnH6437?2For 2angerH7068 slaysH2026 the foolishH191 manH191, And jealousyH7068 killsH4191 the simpleH6601.3I have seenH7200 the 3foolishH191 takingH8327 rootH8327, And I 4cursedH6895 his abodeH5116 immediatelyH6597.4His 5sonsH1121 are farH7368 from safetyH3468, They are even 6oppressedH1792 in the gateH8179, And thereH369 is noH369 delivererH5337.57His harvestH7105 the hungryH7457 devourH398 And takeH3947 it to a place of thornsH6791, And the 89schemerH6782 is eagerH7602 for their wealthH2428.6For 10afflictionH205 does not comeH3318 from the dustH6083, NorH3808 does troubleH5999 sproutH6779 from the groundH127,7For 11manH120 is bornH3205 for troubleH5999, As sparksH1121H7565 flyH5774 upwardH1361.

8“But as for me, I would 12seekH1875 GodH410, And I would placeH7760 my causeH1700 beforeH413 GodH430;9Who 13doesH6213 greatH1419 and unsearchableH369H2714 thingsH2714, 14WondersH6381 withoutH5704H369 numberH4557.10He 15givesH5414 rainH4306 on the earthH776 And sendsH7971 waterH4325 on the fieldsH2351,11So that 16He setsH7760 on highH4791 those who are lowlyH8217, And those who mournH6937 are liftedH7682 to safetyH3468.12He 17frustratesH6565 the plottingH4284 of the shrewdH6175, So that their handsH3027 cannotH3808 attainH6213 successH8454.13He 18capturesH3920 the wiseH2450 by their own shrewdnessH6193, And the adviceH6098 of the cunningH6617 is quicklyH4116 thwartedH4116.14By dayH3119 they 19meetH6298 with darknessH2822, And gropeH4959 at noonH6672 as in the nightH3915.15But He savesH3467 from 20the swordH2719 of their mouthH6310, And 21the poorH34 from the handH3027 of the mightyH2389.16So the helplessH1800 hasH1961 hopeH8615, And 22unrighteousnessH5767 must shutH7092 its mouthH6310.

17“BeholdH2009, how 23happyH835 is the manH582 whom GodH433 reprovesH3198, So do not despiseH3988 the 24disciplineH4148 of 25the AlmightyH7706.18For 26He inflictsH3510 painH3510, and 27givesH2280 reliefH2280; He woundsH4272, and His handsH3027 also healH7495.1928From sixH8337 troublesH6869 29He will deliverH5337 you, Even in sevenH7651 30evilH7451 will not touchH5060 you.20In 31famineH7458 He will redeemH6299 you from deathH4194, And 32in warH4421 from the powerH3027 of the swordH2719.21You will be 33hiddenH2244 from the scourgeH7752 of the tongueH3956, 34And you will not be afraidH3372 of violenceH7701 whenH3588 it comesH935.22You will 35laughH7832 at violenceH7701 and famineH3720, 36And you will not be afraidH3372 of 37wildH776 beastsH2421.23For you will be in leagueH1285 with the stonesH68 of the fieldH7704, And 38the beastsH2421 of the fieldH7704 will be at peaceH7999 with you.24You will knowH3045 that your 39tentH168 is secureH7965, For you will visitH6485 your abodeH5116 and fearH2398 noH3808 lossH2398.25You will knowH3045 also that your 4041descendantsH2233 will be manyH7227, And 42your offspringH6631 as the grassH6212 of the earthH776.26You will 43comeH935 to the graveH6913 in fullH3624 vigorH3624, Like the stackingH5927 of grainH1430 in its seasonH6256.27BeholdH2009 thisH2088; we have investigatedH2713 it, and soH3651 it is. HearH8085 it, and knowH3045 for yourself.”
