Job 5:1-7

New International Version

5 “Call if you will, but who will answer you?^(A)
    To which of the holy ones^(B) will you turn?
² Resentment^(C) kills a fool,
    and envy slays the simple.^(D)
3 I myself have seen^(E) a fool taking root,^(F)
    but suddenly^(G) his house was cursed.^(H)
4 His children^(I) are far from safety,^(J)
    crushed in court^(K) without a defender.^(L)
5 The hungry consume his harvest,^(M)
    taking it even from among thorns,
    and the thirsty pant after his wealth.
⁶ For hardship does not spring from the soil,
    nor does trouble sprout from the ground.^(N)
7 Yet man is born to trouble^(O)
    as surely as sparks fly upward.
