Job 5:5-11 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

5. whose harvest the hungry eats, and he takes it from behind the thorns; and the thirsty pants after their wealth.

6. Indeed, mischief does not come from the dust, and trouble does not sprout from the earth.

7. But a human being is born to trouble, and they soar aloft like sparks.

8. “But I myself will seek God, and to God I would commit my cause.

9. He is doing great and unsearchable things, marvelous things without number—

10. the one who is giving rain on the surface of the earth and is sending water on the surface of the fields,

11. to set the lowly on high, and those mourning are lifted to safety.
