fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Call now; is there any that will answer thee? And to which of the holy ones wilt thou turn? |
| 2 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData For vexation killeth the foolish man, And jealousy slayeth the silly one. |
| 3 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData I have seen the foolish taking root: But suddenly I cursed his habitation. |
| 4 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData His children are far from safety, And they are crushed in the gate, Neither is there any to deliver them: |
| 5 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, And taketh it even out of the thorns; And the snare gapeth for their substance. |
| 6 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData For affliction cometh not forth from the dust, Neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; |
| 7 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData But man is born unto trouble, As the sparks fly upward. |
| 8 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData But as for me, I would seek unto God, And unto God would I commit my cause; |
| 9 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Who doeth great things and unsearchable, Marvellous things without number: |
| 10 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Who giveth rain upon the earth, And sendeth waters upon the fields; |
| 11 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData So that he setteth up on high those that are low, And those that mourn are exalted to safety. |
| 12 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData He frustrateth the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. |
| 13 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData He taketh the wise in their own craftiness; And the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong. |
| 14 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData They meet with darkness in the day-time, And grope at noonday as in the night. |
| 15 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData But he saveth from the sword of their mouth, Even the needy from the hand of the mighty. |
| 16 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData So the poor hath hope, And iniquity stoppeth her mouth. |
| 17 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty. |
| 18 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData For he maketh sore, and bindeth up; He woundeth, and his hands make whole. |
| 19 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData He will deliver thee in six troubles; Yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. |
| 20 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData In famine he will redeem thee from death; And in war from the power of the sword. |
| 21 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue; Neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh. |
| 22 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData At destruction and dearth thou shalt laugh; Neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth. |
| 23 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData 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 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData And thou shalt know that thy tent is in peace; And thou shalt visit thy fold, and shalt miss nothing. |
| 25 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, And thine offspring as the grass of the earth. |
| 26 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, Like as a shock of grain cometh in in its season. |
| 27 |
fjrigjwwe9r2AmerStd_Bible_EN:TextData Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; Hear it, and know thou it for thy good. |
