| 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. |

| 5:17 | 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. |

| 5:1 | Pray, call, is there any to answer thee? And unto which of the holy ones dost thou turn? |
| 5:2 | For provocation slayeth the perverse, And envy putteth to death the simple, |
| 5:3 | I -- I have seen the perverse taking root, And I mark his habitation straightway, |
| 5:4 | Far are his sons from safety, And they are bruised in the gate, And there is no deliverer. |
| 5:5 | Whose harvest the hungry doth eat, And even from the thorns taketh it, And the designing swallowed their wealth. |
| 5:6 | For sorrow cometh not forth from the dust, Nor from the ground springeth up misery. |
| 5:7 | For man to misery is born, And the sparks go high to fly. |
| 5:8 | Yet I -- I inquire for God, And for God I give my word, |
| 5:9 | Doing great things, and there is no searching. Wonderful, till there is no numbering. |
| 5:10 | Who is giving rain on the face of the land, And is sending waters on the out-places. |
| 5:11 | To set the low on a high place, And the mourners have been high `in' safety. |
| 5:12 | Making void thoughts of the subtile, And their hands do not execute wisdom. |
| 5:13 | Capturing the wise in their subtilty, And the counsel of wrestling ones was hastened, |
| 5:14 | By day they meet darkness, And as night -- they grope at noon. |
| 5:15 | And He saveth the wasted from their mouth, And from a strong hand the needy, |
| 5:16 | And there is hope to the poor, And perverseness hath shut her mouth. |
| 5:17 | Lo, the happiness of mortal man, God doth reprove him: And the chastisement of the Mighty despise not, |
| 5:18 | For He doth pain, and He bindeth up, He smiteth, and His hands heal. |
| 5:19 | In six distresses He delivereth thee, And in seven evil striketh not on thee. |
| 5:20 | In famine He hath redeemed thee from death, And in battle from the hands of the sword. |
| 5:21 | When the tongue scourgeth thou art hid, And thou art not afraid of destruction, When it cometh. |
| 5:22 | At destruction and at hunger thou mockest, And of the beast of the earth, Thou art not afraid. |
| 5:23 | (For with sons of the field `is' thy covenant, And the beast of the field Hath been at peace with thee.) |
| 5:24 | And thou hast known that thy tent `is' peace, And inspected thy habitation, and errest not, |
| 5:25 | And hast known that numerous `is' Thy seed, And thine offspring as the herb of the earth; |
| 5:26 | Thou comest in full age unto the grave, As the going up of a stalk in its season. |
| 5:27 | Lo, this -- we searched it out -- it `is' right, hearken; And thou, know for thyself! |
