New Testament

Job 5:5-11 American Standard Version (ASV)

5. Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, And taketh it even out of the thorns; And the snare gapeth for their substance.

6. For affliction cometh not forth from the dust, Neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;

7. But man is born unto trouble, As the sparks fly upward.

8. But as for me, I would seek unto God, And unto God would I commit my cause;

9. Who doeth great things and unsearchable, Marvellous things without number:

10. Who giveth rain upon the earth, And sendeth waters upon the fields;

11. So that he setteth up on high those that are low, And those that mourn are exalted to safety.
