Job 5
King James Version
5 Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?
2 For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
3 I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.
5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
6 Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
7 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
8 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
9 Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:
10 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
11 To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
12 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
14 They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
15 But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
16 So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
19 He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
20 In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
23 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
24 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
25 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
26 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.
27 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.
Job 5

5 Jobe, ako zavapiš, hoće li ti se tko odazvati?
Kojem ćeš se od anđela[a] obratiti?
2 Jer, bezumnika ubija ogorčenost,
a glupana izjeda zavist.
3 Vidio sam bezumnika kako pušta korijen,
ali ubrzo mu dom postade proklet.
4 Djeca su mu bespomoćna,
nitko ih na sudu ne brani.
5 Žetvu mu jedu gladni,
skupljajući je između trnja,
a pohlepni žude za njegovim bogatstvom.
6 Nedaća ne dolazi iz prašine,
niti nevolja niče iz zemlje.
7 Naprotiv, čovjek je uzrok vlastite patnje,
kao što je sigurno da iskre lete iz vatre.
8 Na tvome bih mjestu potražio Boga
i iznio mu svoj hvalospjev.
9 On čini nezamisliva čuda,
čudesa koja se ne mogu izbrojati.
10 On zemlji daruje kišu
i poljima šalje vodu.
11 Ponižene podiže visoko,
žalosnima daje spokoj.
12 On osujećuje naume lukavih,
da im ništa ne pođe za rukom.
13 On mudrace hvata u njihovom lukavstvu
i prepredenima mrsi račune.
14 Danju ih obuzima tama,
a u podne tapkaju kao da je noć.
15 On siromašnoga spašava
od njihovog oštrog jezika
i izbavlja ga iz ruke silnika.
16 Stoga, za siromašne ima nade,
a Bog zatvara usta nepravednima.
17 Blago čovjeku koga Bog ispravlja.
Zato ne preziri kaznu Svemoćnoga.
18 On ranjava, ali i previja;
udara, ali i liječi svojim rukama.
19 Izbavit će te iz mnogih nevolja,
nikakvo te neće snaći zlo.[b]
20 U vrijeme gladi otkupit će te od smrti,
a u ratu od sile mača.
21 Štitit će te od opakog jezika,
neće te biti strah kad dođe uništenje.
22 Smijat ćeš se razaranju i gladi,
i nećeš se plašiti zvijeri.
23 Jer, tvoje će oranice biti bez kamenja,[c]
a zvijeri će živjeti u miru s tobom.
24 Znat ćeš da ti je šator siguran,
obilazit ćeš svoje imanje i ništa ti neće manjkati.
25 Imat ćeš mnogo djece,
potomaka će biti kao trave na zemlji.
26 Do groba ćeš stići u dubokoj starosti,
bujat ćeš kao žito dok ga ne požanju.
27 Spoznali smo da je to istina.
Stoga, poslušaj pa i ti spoznaj.
