1. vers
“Call now; is there any who will answer you? To which of the holy ones will you turn?
2. vers
For resentment kills the foolish man, and jealousy kills the simple.
3. vers
I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
4. vers
His children are far from safety. They are crushed in the gate. Neither is there any to deliver them,
5. vers
whose harvest the hungry eat up, and take it even out of the thorns. The snare gapes for their substance.
6. vers
For affliction doesn’t come out of the dust, neither does trouble spring out of the ground;
7. vers
but man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
8. vers
“But as for me, I would seek God. I would commit my cause to God,
9. vers
who does great things that can’t be fathomed, marvelous things without number;
10. vers
who gives rain on the earth, and sends waters on the fields;
11. vers
so that he sets up on high those who are low, those who mourn are exalted to safety.
12. vers
He frustrates the plans of the crafty, so that their hands can’t perform their enterprise.
13. vers
He takes the wise in their own craftiness; the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.
14. vers
They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope at noonday as in the night.
15. vers
But he saves from the sword of their mouth, even the needy from the hand of the mighty.
16. vers
So the poor has hope, and injustice shuts her mouth.
17. vers
“Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects. Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
18. vers
For he wounds and binds up. He injures and his hands make whole.
19. vers
He will deliver you in six troubles; yes, in seven no evil will touch you.
20. vers
In famine he will redeem you from death; in war, from the power of the sword.
21. vers
You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, neither will you be afraid of destruction when it comes.
22. vers
You will laugh at destruction and famine, neither will you be afraid of the animals of the earth.
23. vers
For you will be allied with the stones of the field. The animals of the field will be at peace with you.
24. vers
You will know that your tent is in peace. You will visit your fold, and will miss nothing.
25. vers
You will know also that your offspring will be great, your offspring as the grass of the earth.
26. vers
You will come to your grave in a full age, like a shock of grain comes in its season.
27. vers
Behold, we have researched it. It is so. Hear it, and know it for your good.”
