< Job 5 >

1 Call please ¿ [is] there [one who] answers you and to whom? of [the] holy [ones] will you turn.
Call now, see if any will answer thee! And to which of the holy ones wilt thou look?
2 For a fool it slays vexation and a simple [one] it kills jealousy.
Verily grief destroyeth the fool, And wrath consumeth the weak man.
3 I I have seen a fool taking root and I cursed habitation his suddenly.
I have seen an impious man taking root, But soon I cursed his habitation.
4 They are distant children his from safety so they may be crushed in the gate and there not [is] a deliverer.
His children are far from safety; They are oppressed at the gate, and there is none to deliver them.
5 [the one] who Harvest his - [the] hungry he eats and to from thorns he takes it and it is eager for a snare wealth their.
His harvest the hungry devour, Carrying it even through the thorns; And a snare gapeth after his substance.
6 For - not it comes forth from [the] dust hardship and from [the] ground not it springs up trouble.
For affliction cometh not from the dust, Nor doth trouble spring up from the ground;
7 For everyone to trouble he is born and [the] children of flame they make high to fly.
Behold, man is born to trouble, As the sparks fly upward.
8 But I I will seek God and to God I will set plea my.
I would look to God, And to God would I commit my cause,
9 [who] does Great [things] and there not [is] inquiry wonders until there not [is] number.
Who doeth great things and unsearchable; Yea, marvellous things without number;
10 Who gives rain on [the] surface of [the] earth and [who] sends water on [the] surface of [the] open places.
Who giveth rain upon the earth, And sendeth water upon the fields;
11 To set lowly [people] to a high place and mourners they are high safety.
Who placeth the lowly in high places, And restoreth the afflicted to prosperity;
12 [who] frustrates [the] plans of Crafty [people] and not they will bring about hands their success.
Who disappointeth the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot perform their enterprises;
13 [who] catches Wise [people] when are crafty they and [the] counsel of tortuous [people] it is hasty.
Who taketh the wise in their own craftiness, And bringeth to nought the counsel of the artful.
14 By day they meet darkness and like night they grope at noon.
They meet with darkness in the daytime; They grope at noon as if it were night.
15 And he saved from [the] sword from mouth their and from [the] hand of [the] strong [the] needy.
So he saveth the persecuted from their mouth; The oppressed from the hand of the mighty.
16 And it belonged to poor [person] hope and injustice it shuts mouth its.
So the poor hath hope, And iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
17 There! how blessed! [is the] person [whom] he reproves him God and [the] discipline of [the] Almighty may not you reject.
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth; Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.
18 For he he causes pain and he may bind up he shatters (and hands his *Q(K)*) they heal.
For he bruiseth, and bindeth up; He woundeth, and his hands make whole.
19 In six troubles he will deliver you and in seven - not it will touch you harm.
In six troubles will he deliver thee; Yea, in seven shall no evil touch thee.
20 In famine he will ransom you from death and in battle from [the] hands of [the] sword.
In famine he will redeem thee from death, And in war from the power of the sword.
21 In [the] whip of [the] tongue you will be hidden and not you will be afraid from destruction if it will come.
Thou shalt be safe from the scourge of the tongue, And shalt not be afraid of destruction, when it cometh.
22 To destruction and to famine you will laugh and from [the] animal[s] of the earth may not you be afraid.
At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh, And of the wild beasts of the land shalt thou not be afraid.
23 For [will be] with [the] stones of the field covenant your and [the] animal[s] of the field it will be at peace to you.
For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field; Yea, the beasts of the forest shall be at peace with thee.
24 And you will know that [is] safety tent your and you will visit estate your and not you will miss.
Thou shalt find that thy tent is in peace; Thou shalt visit thy dwelling, and not be disappointed.
25 And you will know that [will be] many offspring your and descendants your [will be] like [the] vegetation of the earth.
Thou shalt see thy descendants numerous, And thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
26 You will go in full strength to [the] grave as goes up a heap of sheaves at appropriate time its.
Thou shalt come to thy grave in full age, As a shock of corn gathered in its season.
27 Here! this we have examined it [is] so it hear it and you know for yourself.
Lo! this we have searched out; so it is: Hear it, and lay it up in thy mind!
