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

vw@Job:5:2 @ For anger kills a foolish man, and jealousy slays a simple one.

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

vw@Job:5:4 @ His sons are far from safety, they are crushed in the gate, and there is no one to rescue them.

vw@Job:5:5 @ The hungry eat up his harvest, taking it even from the thorns, and a snare snatches their wealth.

vw@Job:5:6 @ For affliction does not come forth from the dust, nor does trouble spring up out of the ground;

vw@Job:5:7 @ yet man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.

vw@Job:5:8 @ But indeed, I would seek the Mighty God, and before God I would lay out my case;

vw@Job:5:9 @ who does great things, and unsearchable, marvelous things without number:

vw@Job:5:10 @ He gives rain upon the face of the earth, and sends waters abroad;

vw@Job:5:11 @ He sets the lowly on high, and those who mourn are exalted to safety;

vw@Job:5:12 @ He frustrates the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot bring about their success;

vw@Job:5:13 @ He catches the wise in their own craftiness, and the counsel of the twisted is precipitated.

vw@Job:5:14 @ They meet with darkness by day, and grope at midday as in the night.

vw@Job:5:15 @ But He saves the needy from the sword, from the mouth of the mighty, and from their hand.

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

vw@Job:5:17 @ Behold, blessed is the man whom God corrects; therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.

vw@Job:5:18 @ For He bruises, but He binds up; He shatters, but His hands heal.

vw@Job:5:19 @ He will deliver you in six troubles; yea, in seven no evil shall touch you:

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

vw@Job:5:21 @ You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and you shall not be afraid of devastation when it comes.

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

vw@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.

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

vw@Job:5:25 @ You shall also know that your seed shall be many, and your offspring like the grass of the earth.

vw@Job:5:26 @ You shall come to the grave in full vigor, as a sheaf of grain springs up in its season.

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