Job 5

Revised Version 1895

1CallH7121 nowH4994; is there anyH3426 that will answerH6030 thee? and to whichH4310 of the holyH6918 onesH6918 wilt thou turnH6437? 2For vexation killeth the foolishH191 manH4191, and jealousyH7068 slayeth the silly one. 3I have seenH7200 the foolishH191 takingH8327 rootH8327: but suddenlyH6597 I cursed his habitation. 4His childrenH1121 are farH7368 from safetyH3468, and they are crushedH1792 in the gateH8179, neitherH369 is there anyH369 to deliverH5337 them. 5WhoseH834 harvestH7105 the hungryH7456 eateth upH398, and taketh it even outH413 of the thornsH6791, and the snare gapeth for their substanceH2428. 6For afflictionH205 cometh notH3808 forthH3318 of the dustH6083, neitherH3808 doth troubleH5999 springH6779 outH3318 of the groundH127; 7But manH120 is bornH3205 unto troubleH5999, as the sparks flyH5774 upward. 8But as for meH413, I would seekH1875 unto GodH430, and unto GodH430 would I commit my causeH1700: 9Which doeth greatH1419 things and unsearchable; marvelousH6381 things withoutH369 numberH4557: 10Who giveth rainH4306 uponH5921 the earthH776, and sendeth watersH4325 uponH5921 the fieldsH2351: 11SoH7760 that he setteth upH7760 on highH4791 those that be lowH8217; and those whichH8217 mournH6937 are exaltedH7682 to safetyH3468. 12He frustrateth the devices of the craftyH6175, soH6213 that their handsH3027 cannotH3808 performH6213 their enterprise. 13He taketh the wiseH2450 in their own craftiness: and the counselH6098 of the froward is carried headlong. 14They meetH6298 with darknessH2822 in the daytimeH3119, and gropeH4959 at noonday as in the nightH3915. 15But he saveth from the swordH2719 of their mouthH6310, evenH34 the needyH34 from the handH3027 of the mightyH2389. 16SoH1961 the poorH1800 hath hopeH8615, and iniquityH5766 stoppeth herH1961 mouthH6310. 17BeholdH2009, happyH835 is the manH582 whomH582 GodH433 correcteth: therefore despiseH3988 notH408 thou the chasteningH4148 of the AlmightyH7706. 18For he maketh sore, and bindeth upH2280; he woundeth, and his handsH3027 makeH3588 whole. 19He shall deliverH5337 thee in sixH8337 troubles; yea, in sevenH7651 there shall noH3808 evilH7451 touchH5060 thee. 20In famineH7458 he shall redeemH6299 thee from deathH4194; and in warH4421 from the powerH3027 of the swordH2719. 21Thou shalt be hidH2244 from the scourgeH7752 of the tongueH3956; neitherH3808 shalt thou be afraidH3372 of destructionH7701 when it cometh. 22At destructionH7701 and dearth thou shalt laughH7832; neitherH408 shalt thou be afraidH3372 of the beastsH2416 of the earthH776. 23For thou shalt be in leagueH1285 with the stonesH68 of the fieldH7704; and the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 shall be at peace with thee. 24And thou shalt knowH3045 that thy tentH168 is in peaceH7965; and thou shalt visitH6485 thy fold, and shalt missH6485 nothingH3808. 25Thou shalt knowH3045 also that thy seedH2233 shall be greatH7227, and thine offspringH2233 as the grassH6212 of the earthH776. 26Thou shalt comeH935 to thy graveH6913 in a fullH3624 ageH935, like as a shock of corn cometh in in itsH5927 seasonH6256. 27LoH2009 this, weH8085 have searchedH2713 it, soH3651 it is; hearH8085 it, and knowH3045 thou it for thy good.
