# Job 5 (New King James Version)
|
|
Eliphaz: Job Is Chastened by God
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 5
|
|
###### 1 "Call out now;
|
|
Is there anyone who will answer you?
|
|
And to which of the holy ones will you turn?
|
|
|
|
###### 2 For wrath kills a foolish man,
|
|
And envy slays a simple one.
|
|
|
|
###### 3 I have seen the foolish taking root,
|
|
But suddenly I cursed his dwelling place.
|
|
|
|
###### 4 His sons are far from safety,
|
|
They are crushed in the gate,
|
|
And _there is_ no deliverer.
|
|
|
|
###### 5 Because the hungry eat up his harvest,
|
|
Taking it even from the thorns,
|
|
And a snare snatches their substance.
|
|
|
|
###### 6 For affliction does not come from the dust,
|
|
Nor does trouble spring from the ground;
|
|
|
|
###### 7 Yet man is born to trouble,
|
|
As the sparks fly upward.
|
|
|
|
###### 8 "But as for me, I would seek God,
|
|
And to God I would commit my cause--
|
|
|
|
###### 9 Who does great things, and unsearchable,
|
|
Marvelous things without number.
|
|
|
|
###### 10 He gives rain on the earth,
|
|
And sends waters on the fields.
|
|
|
|
###### 11 He sets on high those who are lowly,
|
|
And those who mourn are lifted to safety.
|
|
|
|
###### 12 He frustrates the devices of the crafty,
|
|
So that their hands cannot carry out their plans.
|
|
|
|
###### 13 He catches the wise in their own craftiness,
|
|
And the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them.
|
|
|
|
###### 14 They meet with darkness in the daytime,
|
|
And grope at noontime as in the night.
|
|
|
|
###### 15 But He saves the needy from the sword,
|
|
From the mouth of the mighty,
|
|
And from their hand.
|
|
|
|
###### 16 So the poor have hope,
|
|
And injustice shuts her mouth.
|
|
|
|
###### 17 "Behold, happy _is_ the man whom God corrects;
|
|
Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
|
|
|
|
###### 18 For He bruises, but He binds up;
|
|
He wounds, but His hands make whole.
|
|
|
|
###### 19 He shall deliver you in six troubles,
|
|
Yes, in seven no evil shall touch you.
|
|
|
|
###### 20 In famine He shall redeem you from death,
|
|
And in war from the power of the sword.
|
|
|
|
###### 21 You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue,
|
|
And you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes.
|
|
|
|
###### 22 You shall laugh at destruction and famine,
|
|
And you shall not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
|
|
|
|
###### 23 For you shall have a covenant with the stones of the field,
|
|
And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.
|
|
|
|
###### 24 You shall know that your tent _is_ in peace;
|
|
You shall visit your dwelling and find nothing amiss.
|
|
|
|
###### 25 You shall also know that your descendants _shall be_ many,
|
|
And your offspring like the grass of the earth.
|
|
|
|
###### 26 You shall come to the grave at a full age,
|
|
As a sheaf of grain ripens in its season.
|
|
|
|
###### 27 Behold, this we have searched out;
|
|
It _is_ true.
|
|
Hear it, and know for yourself."
