Job 5 — KJV

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