1Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?5.1 turn: or, look? 2For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.5.2 envy: or, indignation 3I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation. 4His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them. 5Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
6Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;5.6 affliction: or, iniquity 7Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.5.7 trouble: or, labour5.7 sparks…: Heb. the sons of the burning coal lift up to fly 8I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause: 9Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:5.9 unsearchable: Heb. there is no search5.9 without…: Heb. till there be no number 10Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:5.10 fields: Heb. outplaces 11To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety. 12He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.5.12 their enterprise: or, any thing 13He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong. 14They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.5.14 meet…: or, run into 15But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty. 16So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
