OEB JOB Chapter 5

JOB 5 ©

5Call now: will any one answer?

To which of the saints wilt thou turn?

2For vexation killeth the fool,

Indignation slayeth the simpleton.

3I have seen a fool taking root,

But his branch became suddenly rotten,

4His children were far from help,

Crushed beyond hope deliverance.

5The hungry eat up their harvest,

And the thirsty draw from their wells.

6For not from the dust riseth ruin,

Nor out of the ground springeth trouble;

7But man is born unto trouble,

While the sons of flame soar above it.

8Were it I, I would seek unto God;

My cause I would bring before God,

9Who doeth great things and unsearchable,

Marvellous things without number,

10Who bringeth rain over the earth,

And over the fields sendeth water–

11Setting the lowly on high,

And lifting the mourners to safety,

12Frustrating the plots of the crafty

And robbing their hands of success,

13So taking the wise in their guile,

That their tortuous plans fail through rashness:

14They feel in the day as in darkness,

At noontide they grope as at night.

15So the needy He saves from the sword,

And the poor from the hands of the mighty.

16Thus hope is born in the weak,

And iniquity stoppeth her mouth.

17Happy then the mortal whom God correcteth:

So spurn no thou the Almighty’s chastening.

18For He bindeth the wounds He hath made,

And His hands heal the hurt He hath dealt.

19He will save thee in six distresses,

In seven no evil shall touch thee.

20In famine He frees thee from death,

And in war from the power of the sword.

21From the scourge of tongue thou art safe;

Thou shalt fear not the onslaught of ruin.

22At ruin and dearth shalt thou laugh,

And the beasts of the field thou shalt fear not.

23For the stones of the earth are thine allies,

The beasts of the field are thy friends.

24Thou shalt know that thy tent is secure,

Thou shalt visit thy fold and miss nothing.

25Thy seed thou shalt know to be many,

Thine offspring as grass of the earth.

26Thou shalt come to the grave in thy strength,

As a sheaf cometh in its season.

27See! this we have searched – so it is.

We have heard it – lay thou it to heart.
