      | ¶ | Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn? | |
 | For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one. | ||
| I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation. | ||
| His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither [is there] any to deliver [them]. | ||
| Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance. | ||
| Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; | ||
| Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. | ||
| I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause: | ||
| Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number: | ||
| Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields: | ||
| To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety. | ||
| He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform [their] enterprise. | ||
| He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong. | ||
| They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night. | ||
| But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty. | ||
| So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth. | ||
| ¶ | Behold, happy [is] the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty: | |
| For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole. | ||
| He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. | ||
| In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword. | ||
| Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh. | ||
| At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth. | ||
| For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee. | ||
 | And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle [shall be] in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin. | ||
| Thou shalt know also that thy seed [shall be] great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth. | ||
| Thou shalt come to [thy] grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season. | ||
| Lo this, we have searched it, so it [is]; hear it, and know thou [it] for thy good. |
