Eliphaz: Job Is Chastened by God

5"Call out now; Is there anyone who will answer you? And to which of the holy ones will you turn?H7121H3426H6030H6918H6437 2For wrath kills a foolish man, And envy slays a simple one.H3708H2026H191H7068H4191H6601 3I have seen the foolish taking root, But suddenly I cursed his dwelling place.H7200H191H8327H6597H5344H5116 4His sons are far from safety, They are crushed in the gate, And there is no deliverer.H1121H7368H3468H1792H8179H5337 5Because the hungry eat up his harvest, Taking it even from the thorns, And a snare snatches their substance.H7105H7457H398H3947H413H6791H6782H7602H2428 6For affliction does not come from the dust, Nor does trouble spring from the ground;H205H3318H6083H5999H6779H127 7Yet man is born to trouble, As the sparks fly upward.H120H3205H5999H1121H7565H5774H1361 8"But as for me, I would seek God, And to God I would commit my cause—H199H1875H410H430H7760H1700 9Who 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 cannot carry out their plans.H6565H4284H6175H3027H6213H8454 13He catches the wise in their own craftiness, And the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them.H3920H2450H6193H6098H6617H4116 14They meet with darkness in the daytime, And grope at noontime as in the night.H6298H2822H3119H4959H6672H3915 15But He saves the needy from the sword, From the mouth of the mighty, And from their hand.H3467H34H2719H6310H3027H2389 16So the poor have hope, And injustice shuts her mouth.H1800H8615H5766H7092H6310 17"Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.H835H582H433H3198H3988H4148H7706 18For He bruises, but He binds up; He wounds, but His hands make whole.H3510H2280H4272H3027H7495 19He shall deliver you in six troubles, Yes, in seven no evil shall touch you.H5337H8337H6869H7651H7451H5060 20In famine He shall 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 you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes.H2244H7752H3956H3372H7701H935 22You shall laugh at destruction and famine, And you shall not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.H7701H3720H7832H3372H2416H776 23For you shall have a covenant with the stones of the field, And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.H1285H68H7704H2416H7704H7999 24You shall know that your tent is in peace; You shall visit your dwelling and find nothing amiss.H3045H168H7965H6485H5116H2398 25You shall also know that your descendants shall be many, And your offspring like the grass of the earth.H3045H2233H7227H6631H6212H776 26You shall come to the grave at a full age, As a sheaf of grain ripens in its season.H935H6913H3624H1430H5927H6256 27Behold, this we have searched out; It is true. Hear it, and know for yourself."H2713H8085H3045
