en_cepher - Job 5 - Ozzuu Bible

¹ CALL now, if there be any that will answer you; and to which of the qodeshiym will you turn?

² For wrath kills the foolish man, and envy slays the silly one.

³ I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.

⁴ His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.

⁵ Whose harvest the hungry eats up, and takes it even out of the thorns, and the robber swallows up their substance.

⁶ Although affliction comes not forth of the dust, neither does trouble spring out of the ground;

⁷ Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.

⁸ I would seek unto El, and unto Elohiym would I commit my cause:

⁹ Which does great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:

¹⁰ Who gives rain upon the earth, and sends waters upon the fields:

¹¹ To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.

¹² He disappoints the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.

¹³ He takes the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.

¹⁴ They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.

¹⁵ But he saves the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.

¹⁶ So the poor has hope, and iniquity stops her mouth.

¹⁷ Behold, happy is the man whom Eloah corrects: therefore despise not you the chastening of El Shaddai:

¹⁸ For he makes sore, and binds up: he wounds, and his hands make whole.

¹⁹ He shall deliver you in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch you.

²⁰ In famine he shall redeem you from death: and in war from the power of the sword.

²¹ You shall be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shall you be afraid of destruction when it comes.

²² At destruction and famine you shall laugh: neither shall you be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

²³ For you shall be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.

²⁴ And you shall know that your tabernacle shall be in peace; and you shall visit your habitation, and shall not sin.

²⁵ You shall know also that your seed shall be great, and your offspring as the grass of the earth.

²⁶ You shall come to your grave in a full age, like as a stack of grain comes in in his season.

²⁷ Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know you it for your good.
