Job 5:5-7

International Children’s Bible

⁵ Hungry people eat this fool’s harvest.
    They even take what grew up among the thorns.
    And thirsty people want his wealth.
⁶ Hard times do not come up from the ground.
    And trouble does not grow from the earth.
⁷ But man is born to have trouble
    as surely as sparks fly upward.
