Job 5

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

1 Call now, if there be any that will answer thee, and turn to some of the saints.

2 Anger indeed killeth the foolish, and envy slayeth the little one.

3 I have seen a fool with a strong root, and I cursed his beauty immediately.

4 His children shall be far from safety, and shall be destroyed in the gate, and there shall be none to deliver them.

5 Whose harvest the hungry shall eat, and the armed man shall take him by violence, and the thirsty shall drink up his riches.

6 Nothing upon earth is done without a cause, and sorrow doth not spring out of the ground.

7 Man is born to labour, and the bird to fly.

8 Wherefore I will pray to the Lord, and address my speech to God:

9 Who doth great things, and unsearchable and wonderful things without number:

10 Who giveth rain upon the face of the earth, and watereth all things with waters:

11 Who setteth up the humble on high, and comforteth with health those that mourn.

12 Who bringeth to nought the designs of the malignant, so that their hands cannot accomplish what they had begun:

13 Who catcheth the wise in their craftiness, and disappointeth the counsel of the wicked:

14 They shall meet with darkness in the day, and grope at noonday as in the night.

15 But he shall save the needy from the sword of their mouth, and the poor from the hand of the violent.

16 And to the needy there shall be hope, but iniquity shall draw in her mouth.

17 Blessed is the man whom God correcteth: refuse not, therefore, the chastising of the Lord.

18 For he woundeth, and cureth: he striketh, and his hands shall heal.

19 In six troubles he shall deliver thee, and in the seventh, evil shall not touch thee.

20 In famine he shall deliver thee from death; and in battle, from the hand of the sword.

21 Thou shalt be hidden from the scourge of the tongue: and thou shalt not fear calamity when it cometh.

22 In destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: and thou shalt not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

23 But thou shalt have a covenant with the stones of the lands, and the beasts of the earth shall be at peace with thee.

24 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle is in peace, and visiting thy beauty, thou shalt not sin.

25 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be multiplied, and thy offspring like the grass of the earth.

26 Thou shalt enter into the grave in abundance, as a heap of wheat is brought in in its season.

27 Behold, this is even so, as we have searched out: which thou having heard, consider it thoroughly in thy mind.

The Message Bible MSG

1 "Call for help, Job, if you think anyone will answer! To which of the holy angels will you turn?

2 The hot temper of a fool eventually kills him, the jealous anger of a simpleton does her in.

3 I've seen it myself - seen fools putting down roots, and then, suddenly, their houses are cursed.

4 Their children out in the cold, abused and exploited, with no one to stick up for them.

5 Hungry people off the street plunder their harvests, cleaning them out completely, taking thorns and all, insatiable for everything they have.

6 Don't blame fate when things go wrong - trouble doesn't come from nowhere.

7 It's human! Mortals are born and bred for trouble, as certainly as sparks fly upward. What a Blessing When God Corrects You!

8 "If I were in your shoes, I'd go straight to God, I'd throw myself on the mercy of God.

9 After all, he's famous for great and unexpected acts; there's no end to his surprises.

10 He gives rain, for instance, across the wide earth, sends water to irrigate the fields.

11 He raises up the down-and-out, gives firm footing to those sinking in grief.

12 He aborts the schemes of conniving crooks, so that none of their plots come to term.

13 He catches the know-it-alls in their conspiracies - all that intricate intrigue swept out with the trash!

14 Suddenly they're disoriented, plunged into darkness; they can't see to put one foot in front of the other.

15 But the downtrodden are saved by God, saved from the murderous plots, saved from the iron fist.

16 And so the poor continue to hope, while injustice is bound and gagged.

17 "So, what a blessing when God steps in and corrects you! Mind you, don't despise the discipline of Almighty God!

18 True, he wounds, but he also dresses the wound; the same hand that hurts you, heals you.

19 From one disaster after another he delivers you; no matter what the calamity, the evil can't touch you -

20 "In famine, he'll keep you from starving, in war, from being gutted by the sword.

21 You'll be protected from vicious gossip and live fearless through any catastrophe.

22 You'll shrug off disaster and famine, and stroll fearlessly among wild animals.

23 You'll be on good terms with rocks and mountains; wild animals will become your good friends.

24 You'll know that your place on earth is safe, you'll look over your goods and find nothing amiss.

25 You'll see your children grow up, your family lovely and lissome as orchard grass.

26 You'll arrive at your grave ripe with many good years, like sheaves of golden grain at harvest.

27 "Yes, this is the way things are - my word of honor! Take it to heart and you won't go wrong." Job Replies to Eliphaz
