Job 5

Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX

1 But call, if any one will hearken to thee, or if thou shalt see any of the holy angels.

2 For wrath destroys the foolish one, and envy slays him that has gone astray.

3 And I have seen foolish ones taking root: but suddenly their habitation was devoured.

4 Let their children be far from safety, and let them be crushed at the doors of vile men, and let there be no deliverer.

5 For what they have collected, the just shall eat; but they shall not be delivered out of calamities: let their strength be utterly exhausted.

6 For labour cannot by any means come out of the earth, nor shall trouble spring out of the mountains:

7 yet man is born to labour, and the vulture's young seek the high places.

8 Nevertheless I will beseech the Lord, and will call upon the Lord, the sovereign of all;

9 who does great things and untraceable, glorious things also, and marvellous, of which there is no number:

10 who gives rain upon the earth, sending water on the earth:

11 who exalts the lowly, and raises up them that are lost:

12 frustrating the counsels of the crafty, and their hands shall not perform the truth:

13 who takes the wise in their wisdom, and subverts the counsel of the crafty

14 In the day darkness shall come upon them, and let them grope in the noon-day even as in the night:

15 and let them perish in war, and let the weak escape from the hand of the mighty.

16 And let the weak have hope, but the mouth of the unjust be stopped.

17 But blessed the man whom the Lord has reproved; and reject not thou the chastening of the Almighty.

18 for he causes to be in pain, and restores again: he smites, and his hands heal.

19 Six time he shall deliver thee out of distresses: and in the seventh harm shall not touch thee.

20 In famine he shall deliver thee from death: and in war he shall free thee from the power of the sword.

21 He shall hide thee from the scourge of the tongue: and thou shalt not be afraid of coming evils.

22 Thou shalt laugh at the unrighteous and the lawless: and thou shalt not be afraid of wild beasts.

23 For the wild beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

24 Then shalt thou know that thy house shall be at peace, and the provision for thy tabernacle shall not fail.

25 And thou shalt know that thy seed abundant; and thy children shall be like the herbage of the field.

26 And thou shalt come to the grave like ripe corn reaped in its season, or as a heap of the corn-flour collected in proper time.

27 Behold, we have thus sought out these matters; these are what we have heard: but do thou reflect with thyself, if thou hast done anything .

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.”
