Job 5

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 "Call now, is there [anyone] answering you? And to which of [the] holy ones will you turn?

2 For vexation will slay the fool, and jealousy will kill [the] simple.

3 I have seen a fool taking root, but suddenly I cursed his dwelling.

4 His children are far from deliverance, and they are crushed in the gate, and there is no deliverer--

5 whose harvest [the] hungry eats, and he takes it {from behind} [the] thorns; and [the] thirsty pants after their wealth.

6 Indeed, mischief does not come from the dust, and trouble does not sprout from the earth.

7 But a human being is born to trouble, and {they soar aloft} [like] {sparks}.

8 "But I myself will seek God, and to God I would commit my cause.

9 [He] is doing great and {unsearchable} things, marvelous things {without number}--

10 the one who is giving rain on [the] {surface of} [the] earth and is sending water on [the] {surface of} [the] fields,

11 to set [the] lowly on high, and [those] mourning are lifted to safety.

12 [He] is frustrating [the] devices of [the] crafty, and their hands do not achieve success.

13 [He] is capturing [the] wise in their craftiness, and the schemes of the wily are rushed.

14 In the daytime they meet [with] darkness, and they grope at noon as [in] the night.

15 And he saves from the sword of their mouth, {even} [the] poor from the hand of the strong.

16 So there is hope for the powerless, and wickedness shuts its mouth.

17 "Look, happy [is the] human being whom God reproves; and you must not despise the discipline of Shaddai,

18 for he himself wounds, but he binds up; he strikes, but his hands heal.

19 {From} six troubles he will deliver you, and in seven evil shall not touch you.

20 In famine he will redeem you from death, and in war from [the] {power of} [the] sword.

21 From [the] scourge of [the] tongue you shall be hidden, and you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes.

22 At destruction and famine you shall laugh, and you shall not fear the wild animals of the earth.

23 For your covenant [will be] with the stones of the field, and the wild animals of the field will be at peace with you.

24 And you shall know that your tent [is] safe, and you will inspect your fold, and you shall not be missing [anything].

25 And you shall know that your offspring [are] many, and your descendants like the vegetation of the earth.

26 You shall come in maturity to [the] grave, as the raising up of a stack of sheaves in its season.

27 "Look, we have searched this out--it [is] true; hear it and know [it] {yourself}."

New International Version NIV

1 “Call if you will, but who will answer you? To which of the holy ones will you turn?

2 Resentment kills a fool, and envy slays the simple.

3 I myself have seen a fool taking root, but suddenly his house was cursed.

4 His children are far from safety, crushed in court without a defender.

5 The hungry consume his harvest, taking it even from among thorns, and the thirsty pant after his wealth.

6 For hardship does not spring from the soil, nor does trouble sprout from the ground.

7 Yet man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward.

8 “But if I were you, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him.

9 He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.

10 He provides rain for the earth; he sends water on the countryside.

11 The lowly he sets on high, and those who mourn are lifted to safety.

12 He thwarts the plans of the crafty, so that their hands achieve no success.

13 He catches the wise in their craftiness, and the schemes of the wily are swept away.

14 Darkness comes upon them in the daytime; at noon they grope as in the night.

15 He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth; he saves them from the clutches of the powerful.

16 So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth.

17 “Blessed is the one whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.

18 For he wounds, but he also binds up; he injures, but his hands also heal.

19 From six calamities he will rescue you; in seven no harm will touch you.

20 In famine he will deliver you from death, and in battle from the stroke of the sword.

21 You will be protected from the lash of the tongue, and need not fear when destruction comes.

22 You will laugh at destruction and famine, and need not fear the wild animals.

23 For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field, and the wild animals will be at peace with you.

24 You will know that your tent is secure; you will take stock of your property and find nothing missing.

25 You will know that your children will be many, and your descendants like the grass of the earth.

26 You will come to the grave in full vigor, like sheaves gathered in season.

27 “We have examined this, and it is true. So hear it and apply it to yourself.”
