  5:1 ¶
But call, if any one will hearken to thee, or if thou shalt see any of the holy angels. |
|
5:1 ¶
Callºº
now,º
if there beº
any that will answerºº
thee; and toº
whichº
of the saintsºº
wilt thou turn?ºº |
|
5:2
For wrath destroys the foolish one, and envy slays him that has gone astray. |
5:2
Forº
wrathº
killethºº
the foolishº
man,º
and envyº
slayethºº
the sillyº
one.ºº |
|
5:3
And I have seen foolish ones taking root: but suddenly their habitation was devoured. |
5:3
Iº
have seenºº
the foolishº
taking root:ºº
but suddenlyº
I cursedºº
his habitation.º |
|
5:4
Let their children be far from safety, and let them be crushed at the doors of vile men, and let there be no deliverer. |
5:4
His childrenº
are farºº
from safety,ºº
and they are crushedºº
in the gate,º
neitherº
[is there] any to deliverºº
[them]. |
|
5:5
For what they have collected, the just shall eat; but they shall not be delivered out of calamities: let their strength be utterly exhausted. |
5:5
Whoseº
harvestº
the hungryº
eateth up,ºº
and takethºº
it even outº
ofº
the thorns,ºº
and the robberº
swalloweth upºº
their substance.º |
|
5:6
For labour cannot by any means come out of the earth, nor shall trouble spring out of the mountains: |
5:6
Althoughº
afflictionº
cometh not forthººº
of the dust,ºº
neitherº
doth troubleº
springº
outºº
of the ground;ºº |
|
5:7
yet man is born to labour, and [even so] the vulture's young seek the high places. |
5:7
Yetº
manº
is bornºº
unto trouble,º
as the sparksºº
flyºº
upward.ºº |
|
5:8
Nevertheless I will beseech the Lord, and will call upon the Lord, the sovereign of all; |
5:8
Iº
would seekººº
untoº
El,º
and untoº
Elohimº
would I commitºº
my cause:º |
|
5:9
who does great things and untraceable, glorious things also, and marvellous, of which there is no number: |
5:9
Which doethºº
great thingsº
and unsearchable;ºº
marvellous thingsºº
withoutºº
number:º |
|
5:10
who gives rain upon the earth, sending water on the earth: |
5:10
Who givethºº
rainº
uponºº
the earth,º
and sendethºº
watersº
uponºº
the fields:º |
|
5:11
who exalts the lowly, and raises up them that are lost: |
5:11
To set upºº
on highº
those that be low;º
that those which mournºº
may be exaltedºº
to safety.º |
|
5:12
frustrating the counsels of the crafty, and their hands shall not perform the truth: |
5:12
He disappointethºº
the devicesº
of the crafty,º
so that their handsº
cannotº
performºº
[their] enterprise.º |
|
5:13
who takes the wise in their wisdom, and subverts the counsel of the crafty |
5:13
He takethºº
the wiseº
in their own craftiness:º
and the counselº
of the frowardºº
is carried headlong.ºº |
|
5:14
In the day darkness shall come upon them, and let them grope in the noon-day even as in the night: |
5:14
They meetºº
with darknessº
in the daytime,º
and gropeºº
in the noondayº
as in the night.º |
|
5:15
and let them perish in war, and let the weak escape from the hand of the mighty. |
5:15
But he savethºº
the poorº
from the sword,ºº
from their mouth,ºº
and from the handºº
of the mighty.º |
|
5:16
And let the weak have hope, but the mouth of the unjust be stopped. |
5:16
So the poorº
hathº
hope,º
and iniquityº
stoppethºº
her mouth.º |
|
5:17
But blessed [is] the man whom the Lord has reproved; and reject not thou the chastening of the Almighty. |
5:17
Behold,º
happyº
[is] the manº
whom Eloahº
correcteth:ºº
therefore despiseºº
notº
thou the chasteningº
of Shaddai:º |
|
5:18
For he causes [a man] to be in pain, and restores [him] again: he smites, and his hands heal. |
5:18
Forº
heº
maketh sore,ºº
and bindeth up:ºº
he woundeth,ºº
and his handsº
make whole.ºº |
|
5:19
Six time he shall deliver thee out of distresses: and in the seventh harm shall not touch thee. |
5:19
He shall deliverºº
thee in sixº
troubles:º
yea, in sevenº
there shall noº
evilº
touchºº
thee. |
|
5:20
In famine he shall deliver thee from death: and in war he shall free thee from the power of the sword. |
5:20
In famineº
he shall redeemºº
thee from death:ºº
and in warº
from the powerºº
of the sword.º |
|
5:21
He shall hide thee from the scourge of the tongue: and thou shalt not be afraid of coming evils. |
5:21
Thou shalt be hidºº
from the scourgeº
of the tongue:º
neitherº
shalt thou be afraidºº
of destructionºº
whenº
it cometh.ºº |
|
5:22
Thou shalt laugh at the unrighteous and the lawless: and thou shalt not be afraid of wild beasts. |
5:22
At destructionº
and famineº
thou shalt laugh:ºº
neitherº
shalt thou be afraidºº
of the beastsºº
of the earth.º |
|
5:23
For the wild beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee. |
5:23
Forº
thou shalt be in leagueº
withº
the stonesº
of the field:º
and the beastsº
of the fieldº
shall be at peaceºº
with thee. |
|
5:24
Then shalt thou know that thy house shall be at peace, and the provision for thy tabernacle shall not fail. |
5:24
And thou shalt knowºº
that thy tabernacleº
[shall be] in peace;º
and thou shalt visitºº
thy habitation,º
and shalt not sin.ººº |
|
5:25
And thou shalt know that thy seed [shall be] abundant; and thy children shall be like the herbage of the field. |
5:25
Thou shalt knowºº
also thatº
thy seedº
[shall be] great,º
and thine offspringº
as the grassº
of the earth.º |
|
5:26
And thou shalt come to the grave like ripe corn reaped in its season, or as a heap of the corn-flour collected in proper time. |
5:26
Thou shalt comeºº
toº
[thy] graveº
in a full age,º
like as a shock of cornº
cometh inºº
in his season.º |
|
5:27
Behold, we have thus sought out these matters; these are what we have heard: but do thou reflect with thyself, if thou hast done anything [wrong]. |
5:27
Loº
this,º
we have searchedºº
it, soº
itº
[is]; hearºº
it, and knowºº
thouº
[it] for thy good. |
