Job 5:4-6

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁴ Their children are far from safety,
    they are crushed in the gate,
    and there is no one to deliver them.^(A)
5 The hungry eat their harvest,
    and they take it even out of the thorns,^[a]
    and the thirsty^[b] pant after their wealth.^(B)
6 For misery does not come from the earth,
    nor does trouble sprout from the ground,
