Job 5

God Is Just

1

"Callh7121 nowh4994, is thereh3426 anyone who will answerh6030a you? And to whichh4310 of the  aholyh6918 onesh6918 will you turnh6437?

2

"For  aangerh7068 slaysh2026 the foolishh191 manh191, And jealousyh7068 killsh4191 the simpleh6601b.

3

"I have seenh7200 the  afoolishh191 takingh8327 rooth8327, And I  bcursedh6895 his abodeh5116a immediatelyh6597.

4

"His  asonsh1121 are farh7368 from safetyh3468, They are even  1oppressedh1792 in the gateh8179, And thereh369 is noh369 delivererh5337.

5

1His harvesth7105a the hungryh7457 devourh398 And takeh3947 it to a place of thornsh6791, And the  2 aschemerh6782 is eagerh7602a for their wealthh2428.

6

"For  aafflictionh205 does not comeh3318 from the dusth6083, Norh3808 does troubleh5999 sprouth6779 from the groundh127,

7

For  amanh120 is bornh3205 for troubleh5999, As sparksh1121h7565 flyh5774a upwardh1361b.

8

"But as for me, I would  aseekh1875 Godh410, And I would placeh7760 my causeh1700 beforeh413 Godh430;

9

Who  adoesh6213a greath1419 and unsearchableh369h2714 thingsh2714,  1Wondersh6381 withouth5704h369 numberh4557.

10

"He  agivesh5414 rainh4306 on the earthh776 And sendsh7971 waterh4325 on the fieldsh2351,

11

So that  aHe setsh7760 on highh4791 those who are lowlyh8217, And those who mournh6937 are liftedh7682 to safetyh3468.

12

"He  afrustratesh6565a the plottingh4284 of the shrewdh6175, So that their handsh3027 cannoth3808 attainh6213a successh8454.

13

"He  acapturesh3920 the wiseh2450 by their own shrewdnessh6193, And the adviceh6098 of the cunningh6617 is quicklyh4116 thwartedh4116.

14

"By dayh3119 they  ameeth6298 with darknessh2822, And gropeh4959 at noonh6672a as in the nighth3915.

15

"But He savesh3467 from  athe swordh2719 of their mouthh6310, And  bthe poorh34 from the handh3027 of the mightyh2389.

16

"So the helplessh1800b hash1961 hopeh8615b, And  aunrighteousnessh5767b must shuth7092 its mouthh6310.

17

"Beholdh2009, how  ahappyh835 is the manh582 whom Godh433 reprovesh3198, So do not despiseh3988a the  bdisciplineh4148 of  1the Almightyh7706b.

18

"For  aHe inflictsh3510 painh3510, and  1givesh2280 reliefh2280; He woundsh4272, and His handsh3027 also healh7495.

19

1From sixh8337a troublesh6869a  aHe will deliverh5337 you, Even in sevenh7651  bevilh7451b will not touchh5060 you.

20

"In  afamineh7458 He will redeemh6299 you from deathh4194, And  bin warh4421 from the powerh3027 of the swordh2719.

21

"You will be  ahiddenh2244 from the scourgeh7752 of the tongueh3956,  bAnd you will not be afraidh3372a of violenceh7701 whenh3588 it comesh935.

22

"You will  alaughh7832 at violenceh7701 and famineh3720,  bAnd you will not be afraidh3372a of  1wildh776 beastsh2421b.

23

"For you will be in leagueh1285 with the stonesh68 of the fieldh7704, And  athe beastsh2421b of the fieldh7704 will be at peaceh7999b with you.

24

"You will knowh3045 that your  atenth168 is secureh7965, For you will visith6485 your abodeh5116a and fearh2398 noh3808 lossh2398.

25

"You will knowh3045 also that your  1 adescendantsh2233 will be manyh7227a, And  byour offspringh6631 as the grassh6212a of the earthh776.

26

"You will  acomeh935 to the graveh6913 in fullh3624 vigorh3624, Like the stackingh5927 of grainh1430a in its seasonh6256.

27

"Beholdh2009 thish384; we have investigatedh2713 it, and soh3651 it is. Hearh8085 it, and knowh3045 for yourself."
