        Job 5
      
    </p>

<p>

      
         
      
      
        1.  Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou 
        turn?
      
    <br/>

      
         2.  For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
      
    <br/>

      
         3.  I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
      
    <br/>

      
         4.  His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there 
        any to deliver them.
      
    <br/>

      
         5.  Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the 
        robber swalloweth up their substance.
      
    <br/>

      
         6.  Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of 
        the ground;
      
    <br/>

      
         7.  Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        8.  I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
      
    <br/>

      
         9.  Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:
      
    <br/>

      
         10.  Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
      
    <br/>

      
         11.  To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
      
    <br/>

      
         12.  He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their 
        enterprise.
      
    <br/>

      
         13.  He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is 
        carried headlong.
      
    <br/>

      
         14.  They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
      
    <br/>

      
         15.  But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the 
        mighty.
      
    <br/>

      
         16.  So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        17.  Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the 
        chastening of the Almighty:
      
    <br/>

      
         18.  For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
      
    <br/>

      
         19.  He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
      
    <br/>

      
         20.  In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
      
    <br/>

      
         21.  Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of 
        destruction when it cometh.
      
    <br/>

      
         22.  At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the 
        beasts of the earth.
      
    <br/>

      
         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.
      
    <br/>

      
         24.  And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy 
        habitation, and shalt not sin.
      
    <br/>

      
         25.  Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass 
        of the earth.
      
    <br/>

      
         26.  Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his 
        season.
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>27.  Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.</b>
      
    <br/>
