noyes - Job:5

noyes@Job:5:1 @ Call now, see if any will answer thee! And to which of the holy ones wilt thou look?

noyes@Job:5:2 @ Verily grief destroyeth the fool, And wrath consumeth the weak man.

noyes@Job:5:3 @ I have seen an impious man taking root, But soon I cursed his habitation.

noyes@Job:5:4 @ His children are far from safety; They are oppressed at the gate, and there is none to deliver them.

noyes@Job:5:5 @ His harvest the hungry devour, Carrying it even through the thorns; And a snare gapeth after his substance.

noyes@Job:5:6 @ For affliction cometh not from the dust, Nor doth trouble spring up from the ground;

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

noyes@Job:5:8 @ I would look to God, And to God would I commit my cause,

noyes@Job:5:9 @ Who doeth great things and unsearchable; Yea, marvellous things without number;

noyes@Job:5:10 @ Who giveth rain upon the earth, And sendeth water upon the fields;

noyes@Job:5:11 @ Who placeth the lowly in high places, And restoreth the afflicted to prosperity;

noyes@Job:5:12 @ Who disappointeth the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot perform their enterprises;

noyes@Job:5:13 @ Who taketh the wise in their own craftiness, And bringeth to nought the counsel of the artful.

noyes@Job:5:14 @ They meet with darkness in the daytime; They grope at noon as if it were night.

noyes@Job:5:15 @ So he saveth the persecuted from their mouth; The oppressed from the hand of the mighty.

noyes@Job:5:16 @ So the poor hath hope, And iniquity stoppeth her mouth.

noyes@Job:5:17 @ Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth; Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.

noyes@Job:5:18 @ For he bruiseth, and bindeth up; He woundeth, and his hands make whole.

noyes@Job:5:19 @ In six troubles will he deliver thee; Yea, in seven shall no evil touch thee.

noyes@Job:5:20 @ In famine he will redeem thee from death, And in war from the power of the sword.

noyes@Job:5:21 @ Thou shalt be safe from the scourge of the tongue, And shalt not be afraid of destruction, when it cometh.

noyes@Job:5:22 @ At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh, And of the wild beasts of the land shalt thou not be afraid.

noyes@Job:5:23 @ For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field; Yea, the beasts of the forest shall be at peace with thee.

noyes@Job:5:24 @ Thou shalt find that thy tent is in peace; Thou shalt visit thy dwelling, and not be disappointed.

noyes@Job:5:25 @ Thou shalt see thy descendants numerous, And thine offspring as the grass of the earth.

noyes@Job:5:26 @ Thou shalt come to thy grave in full age, As a shock of corn gathered in its season.

noyes@Job:5:27 @ Lo! this we have searched out; so it is: Hear it, and lay it up in thy mind!
