⁶ Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;

⁷ I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

¹⁵ Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

⁶ Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it?

⁴ They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
