Job 5:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 The hungry shall eat up his harvest: yea, they shall take it from among the [a]thorns, and the thirsty shall drink up their substance.
6 For misery cometh not forth of the dust, [b]neither doeth affliction spring out of the earth.
7 But man is born unto [c]travail, as the sparks fly upward.
