Job 5

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Peshitta
1 "Call now; is there any one who will answer you? To which of the holy ones will you turn?	1 ܩܪܝ ܢܐ ܐܢ ܐܝܬ ܕܥ̇ܢܐ ܠܟ ܘܠܘܬ ܡ̇ܢ ܡܢ ܩܕܝܫ̈ܐ ܬܬܦܢܐ
2 Surely vexation kills the fool, and jealousy slays the simple.	2 ܡܛܠ ܕܠܣܟܠܐ ܩܛܠ ܪܘܓܙܐ ܘܠܣܟܠܐ ܩܛܠܐ ܩܢܐܬܐ
3 I have seen the fool taking root, but suddenly I cursed his dwelling.	3 ܐܢܐ ܚܙܝܬ ܪܫܝܥܐ ܕܡܨܠܚ ܘܐܒܕܐ ܕܝܪܗ ܡܢ ܫܠܝ
4 His sons are far from safety, they are crushed in the gate, and there is no one to deliver them.	4 ܢܬܪܚܩܘܢ ܒܢ̈ܘܗܝ ܡܢ ܦܘܪܩܢܐ ܘܢܬܡܟܟܘܢ ܒܬܪܥܐ ܘܠܝܬ ܕܦ̇ܪܩ ܠܗܘܢ
5 His harvest the hungry eat, and he takes it even out of thorns; and the thirsty pant after his wealth.	5 ܕܚ̇ܨܕ ܟܦܢܐ ܢܐܟܘܠ ܘܠܨܗܝܐ ܢܬܢܣܟܘܢ ܘܢܓܪܣ ܨܗܝܐ ܩܢܝܢܗܘܢ
6 For affliction does not come from the dust, nor does trouble sprout from the ground;	6 ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܢ̇ܦܩ ܡܢ ܥܦܪܐ ܫܘܩܪܐ ܐܦܠܐ ܡܢ ܐܕܡܬܐ ܨ̇ܡܚ ܥܘܠܐ
7 but man is born to trouble as the sparks fly upward.	7 ܡܛܠ ܕܒܪܢܫܐ ܠܥܡܠܐ ܗܘ ܐܬܝܠܕ ܘܒܢ̈ܝ ܥܘܦܐ ܢܪܝܡܘܢ ܓܦܐ
8 "As for me, I would seek God, and to God would I commit my cause;	8 ܒܪܡ ܐܢܐ ܐܥܩܒ ܥܠ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܠܘܬ ܐܠܗܐ ܐܣܝܡ ܡܠܬܝ
9 who does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number:	9 ܕܥܒܕ ܪ̈ܘܪܒܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܣܟ ܘܬܕܡܪ̈ܬܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܢܝ̈ܢ
10 he gives rain upon the earth and sends waters upon the fields;	10 ܕܝ̇ܗܒ ܡܛܪܐ ܥܠ ܐ̈ܦܝ ܐܪܥܐ ܘܡܫܕܪ ܡ̈ܝܐ ܥܠ ܐ̈ܦܝ ܫ̈ܘܩܐ
11 he sets on high those who are lowly, and those who mourn are lifted to safety.	11 ܠܡܣܡ ܫ̈ܦܠܐ ܒܪܘܡܐ ܘܡܟܝ̈ܟܐ ܢܬܥܫܢܘܢ ܒܦܘܪܩܢܐ
12 He frustrates the devices of the crafty, so that their hands achieve no success.	12 ܡܒܛܠ ܡܚ̈ܫܒܬܐ ܕܚܟܝ̈ܡܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܥܒ̈ܕܢ ܐ̈ܝܕܝܗܘܢ ܠܚܟܡܐ
13 He takes the wise in their own craftiness; and the schemes of the wily are brought to a quick end.	13 ܐ̇ܚܕ ܚ̈ܟܝܡܐ ܒܚܟܡܬܗܘܢ ܘܬܪܥܝܬܐ ܕܨܢܘ̈ܥܬܢܐ ܡܒܛܠ
14 They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope at noonday as in the night.	14 ܒܐܝܡܡܐ ܢܓܫܓܫܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܕܒܚܫܘܟܐ ܘܐܝܟ ܕܒܠܠܝܐ ܢܡܘܫܘܢ ܒܛܗܪܐ
15 But he saves the fatherless from their mouth, the needy from the hand of the mighty.	15 ܦ̇ܪܩ ܡܢ ܚܪܒܐ ܡܢ ܦܘܡܗܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܥܫܝܢܐ ܠܡܣ̈ܟܢܐ
16 So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts her mouth.	16 ܘܢܗܘܐ ܠܡܣܟܢܐ ܣܒܪܐ ܘܥܘ̇ܠܐ ܢܣܟܘܪ ܦܘܡܗ
17 "Behold, happy is the man whom God reproves; therefore despise not the chastening of the Almighty.	17 ܛܘܒܘܗܝ ܠܓܒܪܐ ܕܢܟܣܝܘܗܝ ܐܠܗܐ ܘܡܪܕܘܬܗ ܕܚܣܝܢܐ ܠܐ ܢܣܠܐ
18 For he wounds, but he binds up; he smites, but his hands heal.	18 ܡܛܠ ܕܗܘ ܬ̇ܒܪ ܘܥ̇ܨܒ ܘܡ̇ܚܐ ܘܐ̈ܝܕܘܗܝ ܡܐܣ̈ܝܢ
19 He will deliver you from six troubles; in seven there shall no evil touch you.	19 ܒܫܬ ܥܩ̈ܢ ܢܦܪܩܟ ܘܒܕܫܒܥ ܠܐ ܢܩܪܘܒ ܠܟ ܒܝܫܐ
20 In famine he will redeem you from death, and in war from the power of the sword.	20 ܒܟܦܢܐ ܢܦܪܩܟ ܡܢ ܡܘܬܐ ܘܒܩܪܒܐ ܡܢ ܐ̈ܝܕܝ ܚܪܒܐ
21 You shall be hid from the scourge of the tongue, and shall not fear destruction when it comes.	21 ܡܢ ܫܒܛܐ ܕܠܫܢܐ ܬܣܬܬܪ ܘܠܐ ܬܕܚܠ ܡܢ ܬܒܪܐ ܟܕ ܢܐܬܐ
22 At destruction and famine you shall laugh, and shall not fear the beasts of the earth.	22 ܥܠ ܒܙܬܐ ܘܥܠ ܟܦܢܐ ܬܓܚܟ ܘܡܢ ܚܝܘܬܐ ܕܒܪܐ ܠܐ ܬܕܚܠ
23 For you shall be in league with the stones of the field, and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.	23 ܡܛܠ ܕܥܡ ܟܐ̈ܦܐ ܕܕܒܪܐ ܩܝܡܟ ܘܚܝܘܬܐ ܕܒܪܐ ܐܫܬܠܡܬ ܠܟ
24 You shall know that your tent is safe, and you shall inspect your fold and miss nothing.	24 ܘܬܕܥ ܕܫܠܡ ܗܘ ܡܫܟܢܟ ܘܬܗܦܘܟ ܠܕܝܪܟ ܘܠܐ ܬܚܛܐ
25 You shall know also that your descendants shall be many, and your offspring as the grass of the earth.	25 ܘܬܕܥ ܕܣܓܝ ܙܪܥܟ ܘܝܠܕܟ ܐܝܟ ܥܣܒܐ ܕܐܪܥܐ
26 You shall come to your grave in ripe old age, as a shock of grain comes up to the threshing floor in its season.	26 ܘܬܥܘܠ ܢܝܚܐܝܬ ܠܩܒܪܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܣܩ ܓܕܝܫܐ ܒܙܒܢܗ
27 Lo, this we have searched out; it is true. Hear, and know it for your good."	27 ܗܕܐ ܒܨܝܢ ܘܗܟܢܐ ܗܘ ܫܡܥܢܗ̇ ܘܐܢܬ ܕܥ ܠܟ
