Job 5:6-12
New International Version
Job 5:6-12
New International Version
6 For hardship does not spring from the soil,
nor does trouble sprout from the ground.(A)
7 Yet man is born to trouble(B)
as surely as sparks fly upward.
8 “But if I were you, I would appeal to God;
I would lay my cause before him.(C)
9 He performs wonders(D) that cannot be fathomed,(E)
miracles that cannot be counted.(F)
10 He provides rain for the earth;(G)
he sends water on the countryside.(H)
11 The lowly he sets on high,(I)
and those who mourn(J) are lifted(K) to safety.
12 He thwarts the plans(L) of the crafty,
so that their hands achieve no success.(M)
Job 5:6-12
King James Version
Job 5:6-12
King James Version
6 Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth 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 Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:
10 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
11 To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
12 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
