Job 5:6-11 (New International Version)
View In My Bible
6
For hardship does not spring from the soil, nor does trouble sprout from the ground.1
7
Yet man is born to trouble2 as surely as sparks fly upward.
8
"But if it were I, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him.3
9
He performs wonders4 that cannot be fathomed,5 miracles that cannot be counted.6
10
He bestows rain on the earth;7 he sends water upon the countryside.8
11
The lowly he sets on high,9 and those who mourn10 are lifted11 to safety.
