Job 5

KING JAMES BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?	1 Call now if there be any that will answer thee, and turn to some of the saints.
2 For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.	2 Anger indeed killeth the foolish, and envy slayeth the little one.
3 I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.	3 I have seen a fool with a strong root, and I cursed his beauty immediately.
4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.	4 His children shall be far from safety, and shall be destroyed in the gate, and there shall be none to deliver them.
5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.	5 Whose harvest the hungry shall eat, and the armed man shall take him by violence, and the thirsty shall drink up his riches.
6 Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;	6 Nothing upon earth is done without a voice cause, and sorrow doth not spring out of the ground.
7 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.	7 Man is born to labour and the bird to fly.
8 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:	8 Wherefore I will pray to the Lord, and address my speech to God:
9 Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:	9 Who doth great things and unsearchable and wonderful things without number:
10 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:	10 Who giveth rain upon the face of the earth, and watereth all things with waters:
11 To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.	11 Who setteth up the humble on high, and comforteth with health those that mourn.
12 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.	12 Who bringeth to nought the designs of the malignant, so that their hands cannot accomplish what they had begun:
13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.	13 Who catcheth the wise in their craftiness, and disappointeth the counsel of the wicked:
14 They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.	14 They shall meet with darkness in the day, and grope at noonday as in the night.
15 But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.	15 But he shall save the needy from the sword of their mouth, and the poor from the hand of the violent.
16 So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.	16 And to the needy there shall he hope, but iniquity shall draw in her mouth.
17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:	17 Blessed is the mall whom God correcteth: refuse not therefore the chastising of the lord:
18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.	18 For he woundeth, and cureth: he striketh, and his hands shall heal.
19 He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.	19 In six troubles he shall deliver thee, and in the seventh, evil shall not touch thee.
20 In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.	20 In famine he shall deliver thee from death: and in battle, from the hand of the sword.
21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.	21 Thou shalt he hidden from the scourge of the tongue: and thou shalt not fear calamity when it cometh.
22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.	22 In destruction and famine then shalt laugh: and thou shalt not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
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.	23 But thou shalt have a covenant with the stones of the lands, and the beasts of the earth shall be at pence with thee.
24 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.	24 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle is in peace, and visiting thy beauty thou shalt not sin.
25 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.	25 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be multiplied, and thy offspring like the grass of the earth.
26 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.	26 Thou shalt enter into the grave in abundance, as a heap of wheat is brought in its season.
27 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.	27 Behold, this is even so, as we have searched oat: which thou having heard, consider it thoroughly in thy mind.
