5:1  Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to
which of the saints wilt thou turn?
 5:2  For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the
silly one.
 5:3  I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I
cursed his habitation.
 5:4  His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in
the gate, neither [is there] any to deliver [them].
 5:5  Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even
out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their
substance.
 5:6  Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither
doth trouble spring out of the ground;
 5:7  Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
 5:8  I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my
cause:
 5:9  Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous
things without number:
 5:10  Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon
the fields:
 5:11  To set up on high those that be low; that those which
mourn may be exalted to safety.
 5:12  He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that
their hands cannot perform [their] enterprise.
 5:13  He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the
counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
 5:14  They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the
noonday as in the night.
 5:15  But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth,
and from the hand of the mighty.
 5:16  So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
 5:17  Behold, happy [is] the man whom God correcteth:
therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
 5:18  For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his
hands make whole.
 5:19  He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven
there shall no evil touch thee.
 5:20  In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war
from the power of the sword.
 5:21  Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue:
neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
 5:22  At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither
shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
 5:23  For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the
field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
 5:24  And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle [shall be] in
peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
 5:25  Thou shalt know also that thy seed [shall be] great, and
thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
 5:26  Thou shalt come to [thy] grave in a full age, like as a
shock of corn cometh in in his season.
 5:27  Lo this, we have searched it, so it [is]; hear it, and
know thou [it] for thy good.
