1 Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn? Cross refs
2 For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one. Cross refs
3 I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation. Cross refs
4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them. Cross refs
5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance. Cross refs
6 Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; Cross refs
7 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. Cross refs
8 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause: Cross refs
9 Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number: Cross refs
10 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields: Cross refs
11 To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety. Cross refs
12 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. Cross refs
13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong. Cross refs
14 They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in the night. Cross refs
15 But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty. Cross refs
16 So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth. Cross refs
17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty: Cross refs
18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole. Cross refs
19 He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. Cross refs
20 In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword. Cross refs
21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh. Cross refs
22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth. Cross refs
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. Cross refs
24 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin. Cross refs
25 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth. Cross refs
26 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season. Cross refs
27 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good. Cross refs
