nkjv@Job:5:1 @ "Call out now; Is there anyone who will answer you? And to which of the holy ones will you turn?

nkjv@Job:5:2 @ For wrath kills a foolish man, And envy slays a simple one.

nkjv@Job:5:3 @ I have seen the foolish taking root, But suddenly I cursed his dwelling place.

nkjv@Job:5:4 @ His sons are far from safety, They are crushed in the gate, And there is no deliverer.

nkjv@Job:5:5 @ Because the hungry eat up his harvest, Taking it even from the thorns, And a snare snatches their substance.

nkjv@Job:5:6 @ For affliction does not come from the dust, Nor does trouble spring from the ground;

nkjv@Job:5:7 @ Yet man is born to trouble, As the sparks fly upward.

nkjv@Job:5:8 @ "But as for me, I would seek God, And to God I would commit my cause--

nkjv@Job:5:9 @ Who does great things, and unsearchable, Marvelous things without number.

nkjv@Job:5:10 @ He gives rain on the earth, And sends waters on the fields.

nkjv@Job:5:11 @ He sets on high those who are lowly, And those who mourn are lifted to safety.

nkjv@Job:5:12 @ He frustrates the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot carry out their plans.

nkjv@Job:5:13 @ He catches the wise in their own craftiness, And the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them.

nkjv@Job:5:14 @ They meet with darkness in the daytime, And grope at noontime as in the night.

nkjv@Job:5:15 @ But He saves the needy from the sword, From the mouth of the mighty, And from their hand.

nkjv@Job:5:16 @ So the poor have hope, And injustice shuts her mouth.

nkjv@Job:5:17 @ "Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.

nkjv@Job:5:18 @ For He bruises, but He binds up; He wounds, but His hands make whole.

nkjv@Job:5:19 @ He shall deliver you in six troubles, Yes, in seven no evil shall touch you.

nkjv@Job:5:20 @ In famine He shall redeem you from death, And in war from the power of the sword.

nkjv@Job:5:21 @ You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, And you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes.

nkjv@Job:5:22 @ You shall laugh at destruction and famine, And you shall not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

nkjv@Job:5:23 @ For you shall have a covenant with the stones of the field, And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.

nkjv@Job:5:24 @ You shall know that your tent is in peace; You shall visit your dwelling and find nothing amiss.

nkjv@Job:5:25 @ You shall also know that your descendants shall be many, And your offspring like the grass of the earth.

nkjv@Job:5:26 @ You shall come to the grave at a full age, As a sheaf of grain ripens in its season.

nkjv@Job:5:27 @ Behold, this we have searched out; It is true. Hear it, and know for yourself."
