Is there any that answereth thee? and to which of the holy ones wilt thou turn? 5:2 For vexation killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the simple. 5:3 I myself saw 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, and there is no deliverer: 5:5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh even out of the thorns; and the snare gapeth for his substance. 5:6 For evil cometh not forth from the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; 5:7 For man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upwards. 5:8 But as for me I will seek unto 鵊od, and unto God commit my cause; 5:9 Who doeth great things and unsearchable, marvellous things without number; 5:10 Who giveth rain on the face of the earth, and sendeth waters on the face of the fields; 5:11 Setting up on high those that are low; and mourners are exalted to prosperity. 5:12 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, and their hands carry not out the enterprise. 5:13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness; and the counsel of the wily is carried headlong: 5:14 They meet with darkness in a the daytime, and grope at midday as in the night. 5:15 And he saveth the needy from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty. 5:16 So the poor hath what he hopeth for, and unrighteousness stoppeth her mouth. 5:17 Behold, happy is the man whom +God correcteth; therefore despise not the chastening of the Almighty. 5:18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up; he woundeth, and his hands make whole. 5:19 He will deliver thee in six troubles, and in seven there shall no evil touch thee. 5:20 In famine he will redeem thee from death, and in war from the power of the sword. 5:21 Thou shalt be hidden from the scourge of the tongue; and thou shalt not be afraid of destruction when it cometh. 5:22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh, and of the beasts of the earth thou shalt not be afraid. 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 tent is in peace; and thou wilt survey thy fold, and miss nothing. 5:25 And thou shalt know that thy seed is numerous, and thine offspring as the herb of the earth. 5:26 Thou shalt come to the grave in a ripe age, as a shock of corn is brought in in its season. 5:27 Behold this, we have searched it out, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thyself.
