# Chapter 5
|
|
1. "Cry for help, but will anyone answer you?
|
|
Which of the angels will help you?
|
|
|
|
2. Surely resentment destroys the fool,
|
|
and jealousy kills the simple.
|
|
|
|
3. I have seen that fools may be successful for the moment,
|
|
but then comes sudden disaster.
|
|
|
|
4. Their children are abandoned far from help;
|
|
they are crushed in court with no one to defend them.
|
|
|
|
5. The hungry devour their harvest,
|
|
even when it is guarded by brambles.
|
|
The thirsty pant after their wealth.
|
|
|
|
6. But evil does not spring from the soil,
|
|
and trouble does not sprout from the earth.
|
|
|
|
7. People are born for trouble
|
|
as readily as sparks fly up from a fire.
|
|
|
|
8. "If I were you, I would go to God
|
|
and present my case to him.
|
|
|
|
9. He does great things too marvelous to understand.
|
|
He performs countless miracles.
|
|
|
|
10. He gives rain for the earth
|
|
and water for the fields.
|
|
|
|
11. He gives prosperity to the poor
|
|
and protects those who suffer.
|
|
|
|
12. He frustrates the plans of schemers
|
|
so the work of their hands will not succeed.
|
|
|
|
13. He traps the wise in their own cleverness
|
|
so their cunning schemes are thwarted.
|
|
|
|
14. They find it is dark in the daytime,
|
|
and they grope at noon as if it were night.
|
|
|
|
15. He rescues the poor from the cutting words of the strong,
|
|
and rescues them from the clutches of the powerful.
|
|
|
|
16. And so at last the poor have hope,
|
|
and the snapping jaws of the wicked are shut.
|
|
|
|
17. "But consider the joy of those corrected by God!
|
|
Do not despise the discipline of the Almighty when you sin.
|
|
|
|
18. For though he wounds, he also bandages.
|
|
He strikes, but his hands also heal.
|
|
|
|
19. From six disasters he will rescue you;
|
|
even in the seventh, he will keep you from evil.
|
|
|
|
20. He will save you from death in time of famine,
|
|
from the power of the sword in time of war.
|
|
|
|
21. You will be safe from slander
|
|
and have no fear when destruction comes.
|
|
|
|
22. You will laugh at destruction and famine;
|
|
wild animals will not terrify you.
|
|
|
|
23. You will be at peace with the stones of the field,
|
|
and its wild animals will be at peace with you.
|
|
|
|
24. You will know that your home is safe.
|
|
When you survey your possessions, nothing will be missing.
|
|
|
|
25. You will have many children;
|
|
your descendants will be as plentiful as grass!
|
|
|
|
26. You will go to the grave at a ripe old age,
|
|
like a sheaf of grain harvested at the proper time!
|
|
|
|
27. "We have studied life and found all this to be true.
|
|
Listen to my counsel, and apply it to yourself."
|
