The Discipline of the Almighty

“Call now, is there anyone who will answer you?
And to which of the (A)holy ones will you turn?
For (B)vexation kills the ignorant fool,
And jealousy puts to death the simple.
I have seen the (C)ignorant fool taking root,
And I (D)cursed his abode suddenly.
His (E)sons are far from salvation,
They are even crushed in the gate,
And there is no deliverer.
[a]His harvest the hungry devour
And take it to a place of thorns,
And the [b](F)schemer pants after their wealth.
For (G)wickedness does not come out from the dust,
Nor does trouble sprout from the ground,
For (H)man is born for trouble,
As [c]sparks fly upward.

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