Job 5:1-7
New American Standard Bible 1995
God Is Just
5 “Call now, is there anyone who will answer you?
And to which of the (A)holy ones will you turn?
2 “For (B)anger slays the foolish man,
And jealousy kills the simple.
3 “I have seen the (C)foolish taking root,
And I (D)cursed his abode immediately.
4 “His (E)sons are far from safety,
They are even [a]oppressed in the gate,
And there is no deliverer.
5 “[b]His harvest the hungry devour
And take it to a place of thorns,
And the [c](F)schemer is eager for their wealth.
6 “For (G)affliction does not come from the dust,
Nor does trouble sprout from the ground,
7 For (H)man is born for trouble,
As sparks fly upward.
