New Testament

Job 5:1-10 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. Therefore call, if there are any who will respond to you, and turn to one or another of the saints.

2. Truly, anger condemns the foolish to death, and envy kills the petty.

3. I have seen a fool with a strong root, and I have cursed his excellence without hesitation.

4. His sons will be far from prosperity and will be crushed at the gate, and there will be none who can rescue them.

5. Their harvest, the starving will eat. The armed man will rob him, and the thirsty will drink his resources.

6. Nothing on earth occurs without a reason, and sorrow does not rise from the earth.

7. Man is born to labor, and the bird to fly.

8. Therefore, because of this, I will beg the Lord, and place my eloquence before God.

9. He does great and unfathomable and miraculous things without number.

10. He gives rain over the face of the earth and irrigates all things with the waters.
