Job 5:1-6 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. Call out. Will anyone answer you?To which holy one will you turn?

2. Surely anger can kill the foolish;fury can kill the simple.

3. I’ve seen the foolish take rootand promptly curse their house.

4. Their children are far from safety,crushed in the gate without a deliverer.

5. The hungry devour their crops;it’s taken even from the thorns,and the thirsty pant after their yield.

6. Surely trouble doesn’t come from dust,nor does distress sprout from the ground.
