Job 5 – Studienbibel

1 Call7121 now, if there be3426 any that will answer6030 thee; and to which of the saints6918 wilt thou turn6437?¹ 2 For wrath3708 killeth2026 the foolish man191, and envy7068 slayeth4191 the silly one6601.² 3 I have seen7200 the foolish191 taking root8327: but suddenly6597 I cursed5344 his habitation5116. 4 His children1121 are far7368 from safety3468, and they are crushed1792 in the gate8179, neither is there any to deliver5337 them. 5 Whose harvest7105 the hungry7457 eateth up398, and taketh3947 it even out413 of the thorns6791, and the robber6782 swalloweth up7602 their substance2428.

6 Although affliction205 cometh not forth3318 of the dust6083, neither doth trouble5999 spring out6779 of the ground127;³ 7 Yet man120 is born3205 unto trouble5999, as the sparks1121 7565 fly5774 upward1361.⁴⁵ 8 I would seek199 1875 unto God410, and unto God430 would I commit7760 my cause1700: 9 Which doeth6213 great things1419 and unsearchable369 2714; marvellous things6381 without number4557:⁶⁷ 10 Who giveth5414 rain4306 upon6440 the earth776, and sendeth7971 waters4325 upon6440 the fields2351:⁸ 11 To set up7760 on high4791 those that be low8217; that those which mourn6937 may be exalted7682 to safety3468. 12 He disappointeth6565 the devices4284 of the crafty6175, so that their hands3027 cannot perform6213 their enterprise8454.⁹ 13 He taketh3920 the wise2450 in their own craftiness6193: and the counsel6098 of the froward6617 is carried headlong4116. [1. Kor 1,19] 14 They meet6298 with darkness2822 in the daytime3119, and grope4959 in the noonday6672 as in the night3915.¹⁰ 15 But he saveth3467 the poor34 from the sword2719, from their mouth6310, and from the hand3027 of the mighty2389. 16 So the poor1800 hath hope8615, and iniquity5766 stoppeth7092 her mouth6310.

17 Behold, happy835 is the man582 whom God433 correcteth3198: therefore despise3988 not thou the chastening4148 of the Almighty7706: 18 For he maketh sore3510, and bindeth up2280: he woundeth4272, and his hands3027 make whole7495. 19 He shall deliver5337 thee in six8337 troubles6869: yea, in seven7651 there shall no evil7451 touch5060 thee. 20 In famine7458 he shall redeem6299 thee from death4194: and in war4421 from the power3027 of the sword2719.¹¹ 21 Thou shalt be hid2244 from the scourge7752 of the tongue3956: neither shalt thou be afraid3372 of destruction7701 when it cometh935.¹² 22 At destruction7701 and famine3720 thou shalt laugh7832: neither shalt thou be afraid3372 of the beasts2416 of the earth776. 23 For thou shalt be in league1285 with the stones68 of the field7704: and the beasts2416 of the field7704 shall be at peace7999 with thee. 24 And thou shalt know3045 that thy tabernacle168 shall be in peace7965; and thou shalt visit6485 thy habitation5116, and shalt not sin2398.¹³¹⁴ 25 Thou shalt know3045 also that thy seed2233 shall be great7227, and thine offspring6631 as the grass6212 of the earth776.¹⁵ 26 Thou shalt come935 to thy grave6913 in a full age3624, like as a shock of corn1430 cometh in5927 in his season6256.¹⁶ 27 Lo this, we have searched2713 it, so it is; hear8085 it, and know3045 thou it for thy good.¹⁷
