Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:1 -

And to which of the holy ones will you turn?

And jealousy puts to death the simple.

They are even crushed in the gate,

And there is no deliverer.

And take it to a place of thorns,

And the [fn]schemer pants after their wealth.

Nor does trouble sprout from the ground,

As [fn]sparks fly upward.

So that their hands cannot attain success of sound wisdom.

And the counsel of the twisted is quickly thwarted.

And grope at noon as in the night.

And unrighteousness must shut its mouth.

So do not reject the discipline of the [fn]Almighty.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:18 -

“For He inflicts pain and [fn]gives relief;

He [fn]wounds, and His hands also heal.

[fn]From six distresses He will deliver you,

Even in seven evil will not touch you.

“In famine He will redeem you from death,

And in war from hands with swords.

And you will not be afraid of devastation when it comes.

And you will not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

Like the stacking of grain in its season.

Hear it, and know for yourself.”
