Job 5:4-6

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴ His sons are far from safety,
    they are crushed in the gate,
    and there is no one to deliver them.
⁵ His harvest the hungry eat,
    and he takes it even out of thorns;^[a]
    and the thirsty^[b] pant after his^[c] wealth.
⁶ For affliction does not come from the dust,
    nor does trouble sprout from the ground;
