I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.

For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one. {envy: or, indignation}

I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:

Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.

Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. {trouble: or, labour} {sparks...: Heb. the sons of the burning coal lift up to fly}

Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; {affliction: or, iniquity}

Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn? {turn: or, look?}

His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither {is there} any to deliver {them}.

But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.

Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields: {fields: Heb. outplaces}

He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.

To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.

He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform {their} enterprise. {their enterprise: or, any thing}

Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number: {unsearchable: Heb. there is no search} {without...: Heb. till there be no number}

So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.

Behold, happy {is} the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:

They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night. {meet...: or, run into}

Lo this, we have searched it, so it {is}; hear it, and know thou {it} for thy good. {for...: Heb. for thyself}

For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.

He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.

Thou shalt come to {thy} grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season. {cometh in: Heb. ascendeth}

For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle {shall be} in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin. {thy tabernacle...: or, peace is thy tabernacle} {sin: or, err}

Thou shalt know also that thy seed {shall be} great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth. {great: or, much}

Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh. {from...: or, when the tongue scourgeth}
