[1] “Call now; is there any who will answer you?
To which of the holy ones will you turn?
[2] For resentment kills the foolish man,
and jealousy kills the simple.
[3] I have seen the foolish taking root,
but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
[4] His children are far from safety.
They are crushed in the gate.
Neither is there any to deliver them,
[5] whose harvest the hungry eat up,
and take it even out of the thorns.
The snare gapes for their substance.
[6] For affliction doesn’t come out of the dust,
neither does trouble spring out of the ground;
[7] but man is born to trouble,
as the sparks fly upward. [8] “But as for me, I would seek God.
I would commit my cause to God,
[9] who does great things that can’t be fathomed,
marvelous things without number;
[10] who gives rain on the earth,
and sends waters on the fields;
[11] so that he sets up on high those who are low,
those who mourn are exalted to safety.
[12] He frustrates the plans of the crafty,
so that their hands can’t perform their enterprise.
[13] He takes the wise in their own craftiness;
the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.
[14] They meet with darkness in the day time,
and grope at noonday as in the night.
[15] But he saves from the sword of their mouth,
even the needy from the hand of the mighty.
[16] So the poor has hope,
and injustice shuts her mouth. [17] “Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects.
Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
[18] For he wounds and binds up.
He injures and his hands make whole.
[19] He will deliver you in six troubles;
yes, in seven no evil will touch you.
[20] In famine he will redeem you from death;
in war, from the power of the sword.
[21] You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue,
neither will you be afraid of destruction when it comes.
[22] You will laugh at destruction and famine,
neither will you be afraid of the animals of the earth.
[23] For you will be allied with the stones of the field.
The animals of the field will be at peace with you.
[24] You will know that your tent is in peace.
You will visit your fold, and will miss nothing.
[25] You will know also that your offspring§ will be great,
your offspring as the grass of the earth.
[26] You will come to your grave in a full age,
like a shock of grain comes in its season.
[27] Behold, we have researched it. It is so.
Hear it, and know it for your good.”

[1] CallH7121(QalImpv) now, if there beH3426 any that will answerH6030(QalActPtc) thee; and to which of the saintsH6918 wilt thou turn?H6437(QalImpf) [2] For wrathH3708 killethH2026(QalImpf) the foolish man,H191 and envyH7068 slayethH4191(HiphImpf) the silly one.H6601(QalActPtc) [3] I have seenH7200(QalPerf) the foolishH191 taking root:H8327(HiphPtc) but suddenlyH6597 I cursedH5344(QalImpf) his habitation.H5116 [4] His childrenH1121 are farH7368(QalImpf) from safety,H3468 and they are crushedH1792(HithImpf) in the gate,H8179 neither [is there] any to deliverH5337(HiphPtc) [them]. [5] Whose harvestH7105 the hungryH7457 eateth up,H398(QalImpf) and takethH3947(QalImpf) it even outH413 of the thorns,H6791 and the robberH6782 swalloweth upH7602(QalPerf) their substance.H2428 [6] Although afflictionH205 cometh not forthH3318(QalImpf) of the dust,H6083 neither doth troubleH5999 spring outH6779(QalImpf) of the ground;H127 [7] Yet manH120 is bornH3205(PualPerf) unto trouble,H5999 as the sparksH1121 flyH5774(QalInf) upward.H1361(HiphImpf) [8] I would seekH199 unto God,H410 and unto GodH430 would I commitH7760(QalImpf) my cause:H1700 [9] Which doethH6213(QalActPtc) great thingsH1419 and unsearchable;H369 marvellous thingsH6381(NiphPtc) without number:H4557 [10] Who givethH5414(QalActPtc) rainH4306 uponH6440 the earth,H776 and sendethH7971(QalActPtc) watersH4325 uponH6440 the fields:H2351 [11] To set upH7760(QalInf) on highH4791 those that be low;H8217 that those which mournH6937(QalActPtc) may be exaltedH7682(QalPerf) to safety.H3468 [12] He disappointethH6565(HiphPtc) the devicesH4284 of the crafty,H6175 so that their handsH3027 cannot performH6213(QalImpf) [their] enterprise.H8454 [13] He takethH3920(QalActPtc) the wiseH2450 in their own craftiness:H6193 and the counselH6098 of the frowardH6617(NiphPtc) is carried headlong.H4116(NiphPtc) [14] They meetH6298(PielImpf) with darknessH2822 in the daytime,H3119 and gropeH4959(PielImpf) in the noondayH6672 as in the night.H3915 [15] But he savethH3467(HiphImpf) the poorH34 from the sword,H2719 from their mouth,H6310 and from the handH3027 of the mighty.H2389 [16] So the poorH1800 hath hope,H8615 and iniquityH5766 stoppethH7092(QalPerf) her mouth.H6310 [17] Behold, happyH835 [is] the manH582 whom GodH433 correcteth:H3198(HiphImpf) therefore despiseH3988(QalImpf) not thou the chasteningH4148 of the Almighty:H7706 [18] For he maketh sore,H3510(HiphImpf) and bindeth up:H2280(QalImpf) he woundeth,H4272(QalImpf) and his handsH3027 make whole.H7495(QalImpf) [19] He shall deliverH5337(HiphImpf) thee in sixH8337 troubles:H6869 yea, in sevenH7651 there shall no evilH7451 touchH5060(QalImpf) thee. [20] In famineH7458 he shall redeemH6299(QalPerf) thee from death:H4194 and in warH4421 from the powerH3027 of the sword.H2719 [21] Thou shalt be hidH2244(NiphImpf) from the scourgeH7752 of the tongue:H3956 neither shalt thou be afraidH3372(QalImpf) of destructionH7701 when it cometh.H935(QalImpf) [22] At destructionH7701 and famineH3720 thou shalt laugh:H7832(QalImpf) neither shalt thou be afraidH3372(QalImpf) of the beastsH2416 of the earth.H776 [23] For thou shalt be in leagueH1285 with the stonesH68 of the field:H7704 and the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 shall be at peaceH7999(HophPerf) with thee. [24] And thou shalt knowH3045(QalPerf) that thy tabernacleH168 [shall be] in peace;H7965 and thou shalt visitH6485(QalPerf) thy habitation,H5116 and shalt not sin.H2398(QalImpf) [25] Thou shalt knowH3045(QalPerf) also that thy seedH2233 [shall be] great,H7227 and thine offspringH6631 as the grassH6212 of the earth.H776 [26] Thou shalt comeH935(QalImpf) to [thy] graveH6913 in a full age,H3624 like as a shock of cornH1430 cometh inH5927(QalInf) in his season.H6256 [27] Lo this, we have searchedH2713(QalPerf) it, so it [is]; hearH8085(QalImpv) it, and knowH3045(QalImpv) thou [it] for thy good.
