Job 5:5-7

Lexham English Bible

⁵ whose harvest the hungry eats,
and he takes it from behind^[a] the thorns;
and the thirsty pants after their wealth.
⁶ Indeed,^[b] mischief does not come from the dust,
and trouble does not sprout from the earth.
⁷ But a human being is born to trouble,
and they soar aloft^[c] like sparks.^[d]
