Giobbe 5

5

Call{H7121} now; is{H3426} there any that will answer{H6030} thee? And to which of the holy{H6918} ones wilt thou turn?{H6437}

2

For vexation{H3708} killeth{H2026} the foolish man,{H191} And jealousy{H7068} slayeth{H4191} the silly one.{H6601}

3

I have seen{H7200} the foolish{H191} taking root:{H8327} But suddenly{H6597} I cursed{H5344} his habitation.{H5116}

4

His children{H1121} are far{H7368} from safety,{H3468} And they are crushed{H1792} in the gate,{H8179} Neither is there any to deliver{H5337} them:

5

Whose harvest{H7105} the hungry{H7457} eateth up,{H398} And taketh{H3947} it even out{H413} of the thorns;{H6791} And the snare{H6782} gapeth{H7602} for their substance.{H2428}

6

For affliction{H205} cometh not forth{H3318} from the dust,{H6083} Neither doth trouble{H5999} spring out{H6779} of the ground;{H127}

7

But man{H120} is born{H3205} unto trouble,{H5999} As the sparks{H1121} fly{H5774} upward.{H1361}

8

But as for me, I would seek{H199} unto God,{H410} And unto God{H430} would I commit{H7760} my cause;{H1700}

9

Who doeth{H6213} great things{H1419} and unsearchable,{H369} Marvellous things{H6381} without number:{H4557}

10

Who giveth{H5414} rain{H4306} upon{H6440} the earth,{H776} And sendeth{H7971} waters{H4325} upon{H6440} the fields;{H2351}

11

So that he setteth up{H7760} on high{H4791} those that are low,{H8217} And those that mourn{H6937} are exalted{H7682} to safety.{H3468}

12

He frustrateth{H6565} the devices{H4284} of the crafty,{H6175} So that their hands{H3027} cannot perform{H6213} their enterprise.{H8454}

13

He taketh{H3920} the wise{H2450} in their own craftiness;{H6193} And the counsel{H6098} of the cunning{H6617} is carried headlong.{H4116}

14

They meet{H6298} with darkness{H2822} in the day-time,{H3119} And grope{H4959} at noonday{H6672} as in the night.{H3915}

15

But he saveth{H3467} from the sword{H2719} of their mouth,{H6310} Even the needy{H34} from the hand{H3027} of the mighty.{H2389}

16

So the poor{H1800} hath hope,{H8615} And iniquity{H5766} stoppeth{H7092} her mouth.{H6310}

17

Behold, happy{H835} is the man{H582} whom God{H433} correcteth:{H3198} Therefore despise{H3988} not thou the chastening{H4148} of the Almighty.{H7706}

18

For he maketh sore,{H3510} and bindeth up;{H2280} He woundeth,{H4272} and his hands{H3027} make whole.{H7495}

19

He will deliver{H5337} thee in six{H8337} troubles;{H6869} Yea, in seven{H7651} there shall no evil{H7451} touch{H5060} thee.

20

In famine{H7458} he will redeem{H6299} thee from death;{H4194} And in war{H4421} from the power{H3027} of the sword.{H2719}

21

Thou shalt be hid{H2244} from the scourge{H7752} of the tongue;{H3956} Neither shalt thou be afraid{H3372} of destruction{H7701} when it cometh.{H935}

22

At destruction{H7701} and dearth{H3720} thou shalt laugh;{H7832} Neither shalt thou be afraid{H3372} of the beasts{H2416} of the earth.{H776}

23

For thou shalt be in league{H1285} with the stones{H68} of the field;{H7704} And the beasts{H2416} of the field{H7704} shall be at peace{H7999} with thee.

24

And thou shalt know{H3045} that thy tent{H168} is in peace;{H7965} And thou shalt visit{H6485} thy fold,{H5116} and shalt miss{H2398} nothing.

25

Thou shalt know{H3045} also that thy seed{H2233} shall be great,{H7227} And thine offspring{H6631} as the grass{H6212} of the earth.{H776}

26

Thou shalt come{H935} to thy grave{H6913} in a full age,{H3624} Like as a shock of grain{H1430} cometh in{H5927} in its season.{H6256}

27

Lo this, we have searched{H2713} it, so it is; Hear{H8085} it, and know{H3045} thou it for thy good.
