Job 5
Big screen- 1Call now, if there be any that will answer you; and to which of the saints will you turn?
- 2For wrath kills the foolish man, and envy slays the silly one.
- 3I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
- 4His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.
- 5Whose harvest the hungry eats up, and takes it even out of the thorns, and the robber swallows up their substance.
- 6Although affliction comes not out of the dust, neither does trouble spring out of the ground;
- 7Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
- 8I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
- 9Which does great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:
- 10Who gives rain upon the earth, and sends waters upon the fields:
- 11To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
- 12He dissapoints the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
- 13He takes the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the perverse is carried headlong.
- 14They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
- 15But he saves the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
- 16So the poor has hope, and iniquity stops her mouth.
- 17Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects: therefore despise not you the chastening of the Almighty:
- 18For he makes sore, and binds up: he wounds, and his hands make whole.
- 19He shall deliver you in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch you.
- 20In famine he shall redeem you from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
- 21You shall be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shall you be afraid of destruction when it comes.
- 22At destruction and famine you shall laugh: neither shall you be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
- 23For you shall be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.
- 24And you shall know that your tabernacle shall be in peace; and you shall visit your habitation, and shall not sin.
- 25You shall know also that your seed shall be great, and yours offspring as the grass of the earth.
- 26You shall come to your grave in a full age, like a shock of corn comes in in his season.
- 27Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know you it for your good.
