New Testament

Job 5:3-12 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

3. I myself saw the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed his habitation.

4. His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, and there is no deliverer:

5. Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh even out of the thorns; and the snare gapeth for his substance.

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

7. For man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upwards.

8. But as for me I will seek unto ·God and unto God commit my cause;

9. Who doeth great things and unsearchable, marvellous things without number;

10. Who giveth rain on the face of the earth, and sendeth waters on the face of the fields;

11. Setting up on high those that are low; and mourners are exalted to prosperity.

12. He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, and their hands carry not out the enterprise.
