Job 5:8-20
8“But as for me, I would 1seekH1875 GodH410, And I would placeH7760 my causeH1700 beforeH413 GodH430;9Who 2doesH6213 greatH1419 and unsearchableH369H2714 thingsH2714, 3WondersH6381 withoutH5704H369 numberH4557.10He 4givesH5414 rainH4306 on the earthH776 And sendsH7971 waterH4325 on the fieldsH2351,11So that 5He setsH7760 on highH4791 those who are lowlyH8217, And those who mournH6937 are liftedH7682 to safetyH3468.12He 6frustratesH6565 the plottingH4284 of the shrewdH6175, So that their handsH3027 cannotH3808 attainH6213 successH8454.13He 7capturesH3920 the wiseH2450 by their own shrewdnessH6193, And the adviceH6098 of the cunningH6617 is quicklyH4116 thwartedH4116.14By dayH3119 they 8meetH6298 with darknessH2822, And gropeH4959 at noonH6672 as in the nightH3915.15But He savesH3467 from 9the swordH2719 of their mouthH6310, And 10the poorH34 from the handH3027 of the mightyH2389.16So the helplessH1800 hasH1961 hopeH8615, And 11unrighteousnessH5767 must shutH7092 its mouthH6310.
17“BeholdH2009, how 12happyH835 is the manH582 whom GodH433 reprovesH3198, So do not despiseH3988 the 13disciplineH4148 of 14the AlmightyH7706.18For 15He inflictsH3510 painH3510, and 16givesH2280 reliefH2280; He woundsH4272, and His handsH3027 also healH7495.1917From sixH8337 troublesH6869 18He will deliverH5337 you, Even in sevenH7651 19evilH7451 will not touchH5060 you.20In 20famineH7458 He will redeemH6299 you from deathH4194, And 21in warH4421 from the powerH3027 of the swordH2719.
