Job 5:5-7

Easy-to-Read Version

⁵ Hungry people ate all his crops,
    even the grain growing among the thorns,
    and greedy people took all he had.
⁶ Bad times don’t come up from the dirt.
    Trouble does not grow from the ground.
⁷ But people are born to have trouble,
    as surely as sparks rise from a fire.
