YLT - Job - 5

5:1  Pray, call, is there any to answer thee? And unto which of the holy ones dost thou turn?

5:2  For provocation slayeth the perverse, And envy putteth to death the simple,

5:3  I--I have seen the perverse taking root, And I mark his habitation straightway,

5:4  Far are his sons from safety, And they are bruised in the gate, And there is no deliverer.

5:5  Whose harvest the hungry doth eat, And even from the thorns taketh it, And the designing swallowed their wealth.

5:6  For sorrow cometh not forth from the dust, Nor from the ground springeth up misery.

5:7  For man to misery is born, And the sparks go high to fly.

5:8  Yet I--I inquire for God, And for God I give my word,

5:9  Doing great things, and there is no searching. Wonderful, till there is no numbering.

5:10  Who is giving rain on the face of the land, And is sending waters on the out-places.

5:11  To set the low on a high place, And the mourners have been high in safety.

5:12  Making void thoughts of the subtile, And their hands do not execute wisdom.

5:13  Capturing the wise in their subtilty, And the counsel of wrestling ones was hastened,

5:14  By day they meet darkness, And as night--they grope at noon.

5:15  And He saveth the wasted from their mouth, And from a strong hand the needy,

5:16  And there is hope to the poor, And perverseness hath shut her mouth.

5:17  Lo, the happiness of mortal man, God doth reprove him: And the chastisement of the Mighty despise not,

5:18  For He doth pain, and He bindeth up, He smiteth, and His hands heal.

5:19  In six distresses He delivereth thee, And in seven evil striketh not on thee.

5:20  In famine He hath redeemed thee from death, And in battle from the hands of the sword.

5:21  When the tongue scourgeth thou art hid, And thou art not afraid of destruction, When it cometh.

5:22  At destruction and at hunger thou mockest, And of the beast of the earth, Thou art not afraid.

5:23  (For with sons of the field is thy covenant, And the beast of the field Hath been at peace with thee.)

5:24  And thou hast known that thy tent is peace, And inspected thy habitation, and errest not,

5:25  And hast known that numerous is Thy seed, And thine offspring as the herb of the earth;

5:26  Thou comest in full age unto the grave, As the going up of a stalk in its season.

5:27  Lo, this--we searched it out--it is right, hearken; And thou, know for thyself!
