Job:5

Seeker Overlay ON

* Call now , if there shall be anyone to answer thee ; and if there shall be any of the saints for thee to look unto ? * It is certain that wrath kills the foolish man , and envy consumes the covetous one . * I have seen the foolish taking root , but at the same time I cursed his habitation . * His sons are far from saving health , and they shall be crushed in the gate , and there shall be no one to deliver [them ]. * The hungry shall eat up his harvest , and even take it out from among the thorns , and the thirsty shall drink up their substance . * For the iniquity does not come forth out of the dust ; neither does chastisement spring up out of the ground ; * yet man is born unto trouble , as the sparks fly upward . * I would certainly seek God , and unto God would I commit my affairs ; * who does great things that no one can understand , and marvels that have no explanation ; * who gives rain upon the earth and sends waters abroad ; * who sets up the humble on high , that those who mourn may be lifted up with saving health . * He frustrates the devices of the crafty , so that their hands cannot perform [their ] enterprise . * He takes the wise in their own prudence , and the counsel of his adversaries is turned to folly . * They meet with darkness in the daytime and grope in the noonday as in the night . * But he saves the poor from the sword , from the mouth of the wicked , and from the hand of the violent . * Who is the hope of the poor , and iniquity closes her mouth . * Behold , blessed [is ] the man whom God chastens ; therefore , do not despise not the correction of the Almighty . * For he makes sore , and binds up ; he wounds , and his hands make whole . * He shall deliver thee in six tribulations , and in the seventh no evil shall touch thee . * In famine he shall ransom thee from death , and in war from the power of the sword . * Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue ; neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it comes . * At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh ; neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth ; * for thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field ; and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee . * And thou shalt know that there is peace in thy tent , and thou shalt visit thy habitation and shalt not sin . * Thou shalt know that thy seed [is ] great and thine offspring as the grass of the earth . * Thou shalt come to [thy ] grave in a full age , like a shock [of wheat ] that is gathered in its season . * Behold that which we have searched out , so it [is ]; hear it and judge [it ] for thyself .:
