Job 5:5 Context
3I haue seene the foolish taking roote: but suddenly I cursed his habitation. 4His children are farre from safetie, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliuer them. 5Whose haruest the hungry eateth vp, and taketh it euen out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth vp their substance. 6Although affliction commeth not forth of the dust, neither doeth trouble spring out of the ground: 7Yet man is borne vnto trouble, as the sparkes flie vpward.
