Job 5:5-11
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 5

5 The hungry devour his harvest And take it to a place of thorns, And the schemer is eager for their wealth. 6For disaster does not come from the dust, Nor does trouble sprout from the ground, 7For man is born for trouble, As sparks fly upward. 8'But as for me, I would seek God, And I would make my plea before God, 9Who does great and unsearchable things, Wonders without number. 10He gives rain on the earth, And sends water on the fields, 11So that He sets on high those who are lowly, And those who mourn are lifted to safety.
King James Version

Chapter 5

5Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
6Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
7Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. 8I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
9Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:
10Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
11To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 5

5The hungry consume his harvest, even taking it out of the thorns. The thirsty pant for his children’s wealth. 6For distress does not grow out of the soil, and trouble does not sprout from the ground.
7But humans are born for trouble as surely as sparks fly upward. 8However, if I were you, I would appeal to God and would present my case to him. 9He does great and unsearchable things, wonders without number. 10He gives rain to the earth and sends water to the fields. 11He sets the lowly on high, and mourners are lifted to safety.
New Living Translation

Chapter 5

5The hungry devour their harvest, even when it is guarded by brambles. The thirsty pant after their wealth. 6But evil does not spring from the soil, and trouble does not sprout from the earth. 7People are born for trouble as readily as sparks fly up from a fire.
8'If I were you, I would go to God and present my case to him. 9He does great things too marvelous to understand. He performs countless miracles. 10He gives rain for the earth and water for the fields. 11He gives prosperity to the poor and protects those who suffer.
English Standard Version

Chapter 5

5The hungry eat his harvest, and he takes it even out of thorns, and the thirsty pant after his wealth. 6For affliction does not come from the dust, nor does trouble sprout from the ground, 7but man is born to trouble as the sparks fly upward. 8"As for me, I would seek God, and to God would I commit my cause, 9who does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number: 10he gives rain on the earth and sends waters on the fields; 11he sets on high those who are lowly, and those who mourn are lifted to safety.
New International Version

Chapter 5

5The hungry consume his harvest, taking it even from among thorns, and the thirsty pant after his wealth. 6For hardship does not spring from the soil, nor does trouble sprout from the ground.
7Yet man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward. 8"But if I were you, I would appeal to God; I would lay my cause before him. 9He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted. 10He provides rain for the earth; he sends water on the countryside. 11The lowly he sets on high, and those who mourn are lifted to safety.
New King James Version

Chapter 5

5Because the hungry eat up his harvest, Taking it even from the thorns, And a snare snatches their substance. 6For affliction does not come from the dust, Nor does trouble spring from the ground; 7Yet man is born to trouble, As the sparks fly upward. 8“But as for me, I would seek God, And to God I would commit my cause— 9Who does great things, and unsearchable, Marvelous things without number. 10 He gives rain on the earth, And sends waters on the fields. 11 He sets on high those who are lowly, And those who mourn are lifted to safety.
