LITV - Job - 5

5:1  Call now. Is there anyone answering you? And to which of the saints will you turn?

5:2  For vexation kills the fool, and passion puts to death the simple.

5:3  I have seen the fool taking root, but suddenly I cursed his dwelling place.

5:4  His sons are far from safety; yea, they are crushed in the gate; nor is there any deliverer.

5:5  The hungry eat his harvest, and take him to the thorns, and the snare snuffs up their wealth.

5:6  For affliction does not come forth from the dust, nor does trouble spring up out of the ground;

5:7  for man is born to trouble, and the sons of the flame rise, flying upward .

5:8  Truly, I would seek to God, and to God I would put my plea,

5:9  who is doing great things, and there is no searching them ; marvelous things to which is no numbering,

5:10  giving rain on the face of the earth and sending water on the face of the field;

5:11  to set the lowly on high; yea, the mourners become very high in safety;

5:12  breaking the plots of the crafty, nor did their hands perform the undertaking.

5:13  He takes the wise in their craftiness, and the counsel of the wily ones is hastened.

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

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

5:16  And there is hope for the weak; and injustice shuts her mouth.

5:17  Behold, blessed is the man whom God corrects; and despise not the chastisement of the Almighty.

5:18  For He wounds, and He binds up. He shatters, and His hands heal.

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

5:20  In famine He will redeem you from death; and in war from the hand of the sword.

5:21  You shall be hidden from the whip of the tongue; and you shall not be afraid of violence when it comes.

5:22  You shall laugh at violence and at famine; and you shall not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

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

5:24  And you shall know that your tent is in peace; and you shall visit your home and shall miss nothing.

5:25  And you shall know that your seed will be numerous, and your offspring as the grass of the earth.

5:26  You shall come to the grave in full vigor, like a stack of grain comes up in its season.

5:27  Consider this. We have searched it out; it is so. Hear it, and know it for yourself.
