Job Is Corrected by God

5"Call now; is there anyone who will answer you? To which of the holy ones will you turn?H7121H3426H6030H6918H6437
2Surely vexation kills the fool, and jealousy slays the simple.H3708H2026H191H7068H4191H6601
3I have seen fools taking root, but suddenly I cursed their dwelling.H7200H191H8327H6597H5344H5116
4Their children are far from safety, they are crushed in the gate, and there is no one to deliver them.H1121H7368H3468H1792H8179H5337
5The hungry eat their harvest, and they take it even out of the thorns; and the thirsty pant after their wealth.H7105H7457H398H3947H413H6791H6782H7602H2428
6For misery does not come from the earth, nor does trouble sprout from the ground;H205H3318H6083H5999H6779H127
7but human beings are born to trouble just as sparks fly upward.H120H3205H5999H1121H7565H5774H1361
8"As for me, I would seek God, and to God I would commit my cause.H199H1875H410H430H7760H1700
9He does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number.H6213H1419H369H2714H6381H4557
10He gives rain on the earth and sends waters on the fields;H5414H4306H6440H776H7971H4325H6440H2351
11he sets on high those who are lowly, and those who mourn are lifted to safety.H7760H4791H8217H6937H7682H3468
12He frustrates the devices of the crafty, so that their hands achieve no success.H6565H4284H6175H3027H6213H8454
13He takes the wise in their own craftiness; and the schemes of the wily are brought to a quick end.H3920H2450H6193H6098H6617H4116
14They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope at noonday as in the night.H6298H2822H3119H4959H6672H3915
15But he saves the needy from the sword of their mouth, from the hand of the mighty.H3467H34H2719H6310H3027H2389
16So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth.H1800H8615H5766H7092H6310
17"How happy is the one whom God reproves; therefore do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.H835H582H433H3198H3988H4148H7706
18For he wounds, but he binds up; he strikes, but his hands heal.H3510H2280H4272H3027H7495
19He will deliver you from six troubles; in seven no harm shall touch you.H5337H8337H6869H7651H7451H5060
20In famine he will redeem you from death, and in war from the power of the sword.H7458H6299H4194H4421H3027H2719
21You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and shall not fear destruction when it comes.H2244H7752H3956H3372H7701H935
22At destruction and famine you shall laugh, and shall not fear the wild animals of the earth.H7701H3720H7832H3372H2416H776
23For you shall be in league with the stones of the field, and the wild animals shall be at peace with you.H1285H68H7704H2416H7704H7999
24You shall know that your tent is safe, you shall inspect your fold and miss nothing.H3045H168H7965H6485H5116H2398
25You shall know that your descendants will be many, and your offspring like the grass of the earth.H3045H2233H7227H6631H6212H776
26You shall come to your grave in ripe old age, as a shock of grain comes up to the threshing floor in its season.H935H6913H3624H1430H5927H6256
27See, we have searched this out; it is true. Hear, and know it for yourself."H2713H8085H3045
