Job 5:1-5

1“Call now, is there anyone who will answer you? And to which of the 1holy ones will you turn?2For 2irritation kills the fool, And jealousy brings death to the simple.3I have seen the 3fool taking root, And I 4cursed his home immediately.4His 5sons are far from safety, They are also 6oppressed at the gate, And there is no one to save them.5 7The hungry devour his harvest And take it to a place of thorns, And the 8 9schemer is eager for their wealth.
