Job 5

Previous chapter Index Next chapter

1 Call now, if there is a charge to you. And to which of the saints shall return you?
2 So, anger kills the fool, and fools, slayeth.
3 I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed his house.
4 His children are far from safety, they are crushed in the gate, and there is no intercessor.
5 Whose harvest the hungry eat, and because of the turn will take it, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.

6 So, do not go out of the dust of the mountain, and from the land of trouble grows;
7 but man is born to trouble, [like] the sparks fly upward.
8 But I would appeal to God, would commit my cause to God,
9 Which doeth great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number,
10 It gives rain on the earth and sends waters upon the fields;
eleven humiliated delivers on high, and setuyuschie ascend unto salvation.
12 It destroys the devices of the crafty, and their hands can not perform their enterprise.
13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness, and the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong:
14 They meet with darkness, and at noon they grope as in the night.
15 He saves the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
16 So the poor hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.

17 Blessed is the man whom God corrects, so the punishment of the Almighty do not despise
18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up; He strikes, and his hands make whole.
19 In six troubles will save you, and in the seventh no evil touch thee.
20 In famine he shall redeem you from death, and in war - from the hand of the sword.
21 From the scourge of language ukroesh yourself and do not be afraid of destruction when it comes.
22 At destruction and famine you shall laugh, and do not be afraid of the beasts of the earth,
23 For with the stones of the field you have a union, and the beasts of the field in the world with you.
24 And you will know that your tent is safe, and will look after your house, and do not sin.
25 And you see, that thy seed is numerous, and thine, as the grass on the ground.
26 Thou shalt come to the grave in a full age, like a shock of corn cometh in in his time.
27 Here, we have searched it; so it is: hear it and understood it.
