Job 5 📜 📕 ↷
Eliphaz Continues: God Blesses those Who Seek Him
1 CALL therefore if there be that will answer thee, and turn to some of the Saints.📜💬📚
2 Anger indeed killeth the foolish, and envy slayeth the little one.📜💬📚
3 I have seen a fool with firm root, and I cursed his beauty by and by.📜💬📚
4 His children shall be made far from salvation, and shall be destroyed in the gate, and there shall be none to deliver.📜💬📚
5 Whose harvest the hungry shall eat, and the armed shall take him by violence, and the thirsty shall drink his riches.📜💬📚
6 Nothing in the earth is done without a cause, and out of the ground sorrow shall not rise.📜💬📚
7 Man is born to labour, and the bird to flight.📜💬📚
8 For the which thing I will beseech our Lord, and toward God I will set my speech:📜💬📚
9 Who doeth great and unsearchable and marvelous things without number:📜💬📚
10 Who giveth rain upon the face of the earth, and watereth all things with waters:📜💬📚
11 Who setteth the humble on high, and them that are in heaviness he comforteth with health:📜💬📚
12 Who dissipateth the cogitations of the malignant, that their hands can not accomplish that which they began:📜💬📚
13 Who apprehendeth the wise in their subtilty, and dissipateth the counsel of the wicked:📜💬📚
14 By day they shall incur darkness, and as it were in the night, so shall they grope at noon days.📜💬📚
15 Moreover he shall save the needy from the sword of their mouth, and the poor from the hand of the violent.📜💬📚
16 And to the needy there shall be hope, but iniquity shall draw together her mouth.📜💬📚
17 Blessed is the man that is corrected of God: refuse not therefore the chastising of our Lord:📜💬📚
18 Because he woundeth, and cureth: striketh, & his hands shall heal.📜💬📚
19 In six tribulations he shall deliver thee, and in the seventh evil shall not touch thee.📜💬📚
20 In famine he shall deliver thee from death, and in battle from the hand of the sword.📜💬📚
21 From the scourge of the tongue thou shalt be hid; and thou shalt not fear calamity when it cometh.📜💬📚
22 In waste and famine thou shalt laugh, & the beasts of the earth thou shalt not fear.📜💬📚
23 But with the stones of the lands thy covenant, and the beasts of the earth shall be peaceable to thee.📜💬📚
24 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle hath peace, and visiting thy beauty, thou shalt not sin.📜💬📚
25 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be manifold, and thy progeny as the grass of the earth.📜💬📚
26 Thou shalt enter into the grave in aboundance, as a heap of wheat is carried in his time.📜💬📚
27 Behold, this is even so, as we have searched out: which thou having heard revolve in thy mind.📜💬📚
