Book 18 Job Chapter 005
| |
| 005:001 | Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?
|
| 005:002 | For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
|
| 005:003 | I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
|
| 005:004 | His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.
|
| 005:005 | Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
|
| 005:006 | Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
|
| 005:007 | Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
|
| 005:008 | I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
|
| 005:009 | Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:
|
| 005:010 | Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
|
| 005:011 | To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
|
| 005:012 | He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
|
| 005:013 | He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
|
| 005:014 | They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
|
| 005:015 | But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
|
| 005:016 | So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
|
| 005:017 | Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
|
| 005:018 | For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
|
| 005:019 | He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
|
| 005:020 | In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
|
| 005:021 | Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
|
| 005:022 | At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
|
| 005:023 | For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
|
| 005:024 | And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
|
| 005:025 | Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
|
| 005:026 | Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.
|
| 005:027 | Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good. |
