Job 5:5-7

International Standard Version

⁵ Then the hungry will devour his harvest,
    snatching it even from the midst of thorns,
        while the thirsty covet their wealth.
⁶ For wickedness doesn’t crop up from dust,
    nor does trouble sprout out of the ground;
⁷ But mankind is born headed for trouble,
    just as sparks soar skyward.”
