Job 5
Call now if there be any that will answer thee, and
turn to some of the saints.
Anger indeed killeth the foolish, and envy slayeth the
little one.
I have seen a fool with a strong root, and I cursed
his beauty immediately.
His children shall be far from safety, and shall be
destroyed in the gate, and there shall be none to deliver
them.
Whose harvest the hungry shall eat, and the armed man
shall take him by violence, and the thirsty shall drink
up his riches.
Nothing upon earth is done without a voice cause, and
sorrow doth not spring out of the ground.
Man is born to labour and the bird to fly.
Wherefore I will pray to the Lord, and address my speech
to God:
Who doth great things and unsearchable and wonderful
things without number:
Who giveth rain upon the face of the earth, and watereth
all things with waters:
Who setteth up the humble on high, and comforteth with
health those that mourn.
Who bringeth to nought the designs of the malignant,
so that their hands cannot accomplish what they had
begun:
Who catcheth the wise in their craftiness, and disappointeth
the counsel of the wicked:
They shall meet with darkness in the day, and grope
at noonday as in the night.
But he shall save the needy from the sword of their
mouth, and the poor from the hand of the violent.
And to the needy there shall he hope, but iniquity shall
draw in her mouth.
Blessed is the mall whom God correcteth: refuse not
therefore the chastising of the lord:
For he woundeth, and cureth: he striketh, and his hands
shall heal.
In six troubles he shall deliver thee, and in the seventh,
evil shall not touch thee.
In famine he shall deliver thee from death: and in battle,
from the hand of the sword.
Thou shalt he hidden from the scourge of the tongue:
and thou shalt not fear calamity when it cometh.
In destruction and famine then shalt laugh: and thou
shalt not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
But thou shalt have a covenant with the stones of the
lands, and the beasts of the earth shall be at pence
with thee.
And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle is in peace,
and visiting thy beauty thou shalt not sin.
Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be multiplied,
and thy offspring like the grass of the earth.
Thou shalt enter into the grave in abundance, as a heap
of wheat is brought in its season.
Behold, this is even so, as we have searched oat: which
thou having heard, consider it thoroughly in thy mind.
