New Testament

Job 5:1-6 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. Call out if you please. Will anyone answer you?Which of the holy ones will you turn to?

2. For anger kills a fool,and jealousy slays the gullible.

3. I have seen a fool taking root,but I immediately pronounced a curse on his home.

4. His children are far from safety.They are crushed at the city gate, with no one to rescue them.

5. The hungry consume his harvest,even taking it out of the thorns. The thirsty pant for his children’s wealth.

6. For distress does not grow out of the soil,and trouble does not sprout from the ground.
