Job 5:5-7

New International Reader's Version

⁵ Hungry people eat up the crops of the foolish.
    They even take the food that grows among thorns.
    Thirsty people long for the wealth of the foolish.
⁶ Hard times don’t just grow out of the soil.
    Trouble doesn’t jump out of the ground.
⁷ People are born to have trouble.
    And that’s just as sure as sparks fly up.
