| 5:1 |
Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?
|
| 5:2 |
For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
|
| 5:3 |
I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
|
| 5:4 |
His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither [is there] any to deliver [them].
|
| 5:5 |
Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
|
| 5:6 |
Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
|
| 5:7 |
Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
|
| 5:8 |
I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
|
| 5:9 |
Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:
|
| 5:10 |
Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
|
| 5:11 |
To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
|
| 5:12 |
He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform [their] enterprise.
|
| 5:13 |
He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
|
| 5:14 |
They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
|
| 5:15 |
But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
|
| 5:16 |

|
| 5:17 |
Behold, happy [is] the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
|
| 5:18 |
For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
|
| 5:19 |
He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
|
| 5:20 |
In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
|
| 5:21 |
Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
|
| 5:22 |
At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
|
| 5:23 |
For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
|
| 5:24 |
And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle [shall be] in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
|
| 5:25 |
Thou shalt know also that thy seed [shall be] great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
|
| 5:26 |
Thou shalt come to [thy] grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.
|
| 5:27 |
Lo this, we have searched it, so it [is]; hear it, and know thou [it] for thy good.
