UKJV - Job - 5

5:1  Call now, if there be any that will answer you; and to which of the saints will you turn?

5:2  For wrath kills the foolish man, and envy slays the silly one.

5:3  I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.

5:4  His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.

5:5  Whose harvest the hungry eats up, and takes it even out of the thorns, and the robber swallows up their substance.

5:6  Although affliction comes not out of the dust, neither does trouble spring out of the ground;

5:7  Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.

5:8  I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:

5:9  Which does great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:

5:10  Who gives rain upon the earth, and sends waters upon the fields:

5:11  To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.

5:12  He dissapoints the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.

5:13  He takes the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the perverse is carried headlong.

5:14  They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in the night.

5:15  But he saves the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.

5:16  So the poor has hope, and iniquity stops her mouth.

5:17  Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects: therefore despise not you the chastening of the Almighty:

5:18  For he makes sore, and binds up: he wounds, and his hands make whole.

5:19  He shall deliver you in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch you.

5:20  In famine he shall redeem you from death: and in war from the power of the sword.

5:21  You shall be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shall you be afraid of destruction when it comes.

5:22  At destruction and famine you shall laugh: neither shall you be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

5:23  For you shall be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.

5:24  And you shall know that your tabernacle shall be in peace; and you shall visit your habitation, and shall not sin.

5:25  You shall know also that your seed shall be great, and your offspring as the grass of the earth.

5:26  You shall come to your grave in a full age, like a shock of corn comes in in his season.

5:27  Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know you it for your good.
