New Testament

Job 5:2-11 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

2. For wrath kills the foolish man, and envy slays the simple one.

3. I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.

4. His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.

5. Whose harvest the hungry eats up, and takes it even out of the thorns, and the robber swallows up their wealth.

6. For affliction comes not forth from the dust, neither does trouble spring out of the ground;

7. Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.

8. I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:

9. Who does great things and unsearchable; marvelous things without number:

10. Who gives rain upon the earth, and sends waters upon the fields:

11. To set up on high those that are low; that those who mourn may be lifted to safety.
