Job 5:1-6

1 "Call if you want to, Job, but no one will answer you. You can't turn to any of the holy ones.
2 Anger kills the fool, and jealousy slays the stupid.
3 I have seen a fool succeed, but I cursed his home immediately.
4 His children are far from safety and are crushed in court with no defense.
5 The hungry eat his harvest, even taking what grew among the thorns, and thirsty people want his wealth.
6 Hard times do not come up from the ground, and trouble does not grow from the earth.
