Job 5:3 in context

  1. 1“Call now; is there any who will answer you?
    To which of the holy ones will you turn?
  2. 2For resentment kills the foolish man,
    and jealousy kills the simple.
  3. 3I have seen the foolish taking root,
    but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
  4. 4His children are far from safety.
    They are crushed in the gate.
    Neither is there any to deliver them,
  5. 5whose harvest the hungry eats up,
    and take it even out of the thorns.
    The snare gapes for their substance.
