Job 4 | IndexThe Bible - Job 5
- 1
- Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?
- 2
- For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
- 3
- I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
- 4
- His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.
- 5
- Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
- 6
- Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
- 7
- Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
- 8
- I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
- 9
- Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:
- 10
- Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
- 11
- To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
- 12
- He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
- 13
- He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong. 1 Cor 3:19
- 14
- They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
- 15
- But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
- 16
- So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
- 17
- Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
- 18
- For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
- 19
- He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
- 20
- In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
- 21
- Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
- 22
- At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
- 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.
- 24
- And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
- 25
- Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
- 26
- Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.
- 27
- Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.
