God Is Just

  1 “Call° now°, is there° anyone who will answer° you?
  And to which° of the aholy° ones° will you turn°?
  2 “For aanger° slays° the foolish° man°,
  And jealousy° kills° the simple°.
  3 “I have seen° the afoolish° taking° root°,
  And I bcursed° his abode° immediately°.
  4 “His asons° are far° from safety°,
  They are even Ioppressed° in the gate°,
  And there° is no° deliverer°.
  5 “IHis harvest° the hungry° devour°
  And take° it to a [place of] thorns°,
  And the II aschemer° is eager° for their wealth°.
  6 “For aaffliction° does not come° from the dust°,
  Nor° does trouble° sprout° from the ground°,
  7 For aman° is born° for trouble°,
  As sparks°° fly° upward°.

The harm of inconsideration.

1 ¶ Callº ª now,² if there beº any that will answerº ª thee; and to² which² of the saintsº ² wilt thou turn?º ª 2 For² wrathº killethº ª the foolish² man,¹ and envyº slayethº ª the silly² one.¹ ª

The end of the wicked is misery.

3 I² have seenº ª the foolishº taking root:º ª but suddenlyº I cursedº ª his habitation.º 4 His childrenº are farº ª from safety,º ² and they are crushedº ª in the gate,º neither² [is there] any to deliverº ª [them]. 5 Whose² harvestº the hungryº eateth up,º ª and takethº ª it even out¹ of² the thorns,º ² and the robberº swalloweth upº ª their substance.º

God is to be regarded in affliction.

6 Although² afflictionº cometh not forthº ª ² of the dust,º ² neither² doth troubleº spring² out¹ ª of the ground;º ² 7 Yet² manº is bornº ª unto trouble,º as the sparksº º flyº ª upward.º ª 8 I² would seekº ¹ ª unto² God,º and unto² Godº would I commitº ª my cause:º 9 Which doethº ª great thingsº and unsearchable;º º marvellous thingsº ª without² ² number:º 10 Who givethº ª rainº uponº ² the earth,º and sendethº ª watersº uponº ² the fields:º 11 To set upº ª on highº those that be low;º that those which mournº ª may be exaltedº ª to safety.º 12 He disappointethº ª the devicesº of the crafty,º so that their handsº cannot² performº ª [their] enterprise.º 13 He takethº ª the wiseº in their own craftiness:º and the counselº of the frowardº ª is carried headlong.º ª 14 They meetº ª with darknessº in the daytime,º and gropeº ª in the noondayº as in the night.º 15 But he savethº ª the poorº from the sword,º ² from their mouth,º ² and from the handº ² of the mighty.º 16 So the poorº hath² hope,º and iniquityº stoppethº ª her mouth.º

The happy end of God's correction.

17 Behold,² happyº [is] the manº whom Godº correcteth:º ª therefore despiseº ª not² thou the chasteningº of the Almighty:º 18 For² he² maketh sore,º ª and bindeth up:º ª he woundeth,º ª and his handsº make whole.º ª 19 He shall deliverº ª thee in sixº troubles:º yea, in sevenº there shall no² evilº touchº ª thee. 20 In famineº he shall redeemº ª thee from death:º ² and in warº from the powerº ² of the sword.º 21 Thou shalt be hidº ª from the scourgeº of the tongue:º neither² shalt thou be afraidº ª of destructionº ² when² it cometh.º ª 22 At destructionº and famineº thou shalt laugh:º ª neither² shalt thou be afraidº ª of the beastsº ² of the earth.º 23 For² thou shalt be in leagueº with² the stonesº of the field:º and the beastsº of the fieldº shall be at peaceº ª with thee. 24 And thou shalt knowº ª that thy tabernacleº [shall be] in peace;º and thou shalt visitº ª thy habitation,º and shalt not sin.º ª ² 25 Thou shalt knowº ª also that² thy seedº [shall be] great,º and thine offspringº as the grassº of the earth.º 26 Thou shalt comeº ª to² [thy] graveº in a full age,º like as a shock of cornº cometh inº ª in his season.º 27 Lo² this,² we have searchedº ª it, so² it² [is]; hearº ª it, and knowº ª thou² [it] for thy good.
