engKJVCPB: Job 5

=> Chapters

[1] Call now, if there be any that will answer thee;

And to which of the saints wilt thou turn?

[2] For wrath killeth the foolish man,

And envy slayeth the silly one.

[3] I have seen the foolish taking root:

But suddenly I cursed his habitation.

[4] His children are far from safety,

And they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.

[5] Whose harvest the hungry eateth up,

And taketh it even out of the thorns,

And the robber swalloweth up their substance.

[6] Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust,

Neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;

[7] Yet man is born unto trouble,

As the sparks fly upward.

[8] I would seek unto God,

And unto God would I commit my cause:

[9] Which doeth great things and unsearchable;

Marvellous things without number:

[10] Who giveth rain upon the earth,

And sendeth waters upon the fields:

[11] To set up on high those that be low;

That those which mourn may be exalted to safety.

[12] He disappointeth the devices of the crafty,

So that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.

[13] He taketh the wise in their own craftiness:

And the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.

[14] They meet with darkness in the daytime,

And grope in the noonday as in the night.

[15] But he saveth the poor from the sword,

From their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.

[16] So the poor hath hope,

And iniquity stoppeth her mouth.

[17] Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth:

Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:

[18] For he maketh sore, and bindeth up:

He woundeth, and his hands make whole.

[19] He shall deliver thee in six troubles:

Yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.

[20] In famine he shall redeem thee from death:

And in war from the power of the sword.

[21] Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue:

Neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.

[22] At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh:

Neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

[23] For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field:

And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

[24] And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace;

And thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.

[25] Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great,

And thine offspring as the grass of the earth.

[26] Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age,

Like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.

[27] Lo this, we have searched it, so it is;

Hear it, and know thou it for thy good.
