[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.”

King James Version
[1] Call H7121 (QalImpv) now, if there be H3426 any that will answer H6030 (QalActPtc) thee;
And to which of the saints H6918 wilt thou turn? H6437 (QalImpf)§
[2] For wrath H3708 killeth H2026 (QalImpf) the foolish man, H191
And envy H7068§ slayeth H4191 (HiphImpf) the silly one. H6601 (QalActPtc)
[3] I have seen H7200 (QalPerf) the foolish H191 taking root: H8327 (HiphPtc)
But suddenly H6597 I cursed H5344 (QalImpf) his habitation. H5116
[4] His children H1121 are far H7368 (QalImpf) from safety, H3468
And they are crushed H1792 (HithImpf) in the gate, H8179
Neither is there any to deliver H5337 (HiphPtc) them.
[5] Whose harvest H7105 the hungry H7457 eateth up, H398 (QalImpf)
And taketh H3947 (QalImpf) it even out H413 of the thorns, H6791
And the robber H6782 swalloweth up H7602 (QalPerf) their substance. H2428
[6] Although affliction H205§ cometh not forth H3318 (QalImpf) of the dust, H6083
Neither doth trouble H5999 spring out H6779 (QalImpf) of the ground; H127
[7] Yet man H120 is born H3205 (PualPerf) unto trouble, H5999§
As the sparks H1121 fly H5774 (QalInf) upward. H1361 (HiphImpf)§
[8] I would seek H199 unto God, H410
And unto God H430 would I commit H7760 (QalImpf) my cause: H1700
[9] Which doeth H6213 (QalActPtc) great things H1419 and unsearchable; H369§
Marvellous things H6381 (NiphPtc) without number: H4557§
[10] Who giveth H5414 (QalActPtc) rain H4306 upon H6440 the earth, H776
And sendeth H7971 (QalActPtc) waters H4325 upon H6440 the fields: H2351§
[11] To set up H7760 (QalInf) on high H4791 those that be low; H8217
That those which mourn H6937 (QalActPtc) may be exalted H7682 (QalPerf) to safety. H3468
[12] He disappointeth H6565 (HiphPtc) the devices H4284 of the crafty, H6175
So that their hands H3027 cannot perform H6213 (QalImpf) their enterprise.§ H8454
[13] He taketh H3920 (QalActPtc) the wise H2450 in their own craftiness: H6193
And the counsel H6098 of the froward H6617 (NiphPtc) is carried headlong. H4116 (NiphPtc)
[14] They meet H6298 (PielImpf)§ with darkness H2822 in the daytime, H3119
And grope H4959 (PielImpf) in the noonday H6672 as in the night. H3915
[15] But he saveth H3467 (HiphImpf) the poor H34 from the sword, H2719 from their mouth, H6310
And from the hand H3027 of the mighty. H2389
[16] So the poor H1800 hath hope, H8615
And iniquity H5766 stoppeth H7092 (QalPerf) her mouth. H6310
[17] Behold, happy H835 is the man H582 whom God H433 correcteth: H3198 (HiphImpf)
Therefore despise H3988 (QalImpf) not thou the chastening H4148 of the Almighty: H7706
[18] For he maketh sore, H3510 (HiphImpf) and bindeth up: H2280 (QalImpf)
He woundeth, H4272 (QalImpf) and his hands H3027 make whole. H7495 (QalImpf)
[19] He shall deliver H5337 (HiphImpf) thee in six H8337 troubles: H6869
Yea, in seven H7651 there shall no evil H7451 touch H5060 (QalImpf) thee.
[20] In famine H7458 he shall redeem H6299 (QalPerf) thee from death: H4194
And in war H4421 from the power H3027§ of the sword. H2719
[21] Thou shalt be hid H2244 (NiphImpf) from the scourge H7752 of the tongue: H3956§
Neither shalt thou be afraid H3372 (QalImpf) of destruction H7701 when it cometh. H935 (QalImpf)
[22] At destruction H7701 and famine H3720 thou shalt laugh: H7832 (QalImpf)
Neither shalt thou be afraid H3372 (QalImpf) of the beasts H2416 of the earth. H776
[23] For thou shalt be in league H1285 with the stones H68 of the field: H7704
And the beasts H2416 of the field H7704 shall be at peace H7999 (HophPerf) with thee.
[24] And thou shalt know H3045 (QalPerf) that thy tabernacle H168 shall be in peace;§ H7965
And thou shalt visit H6485 (QalPerf) thy habitation, H5116 and shalt not sin. H2398 (QalImpf)§
[25] Thou shalt know H3045 (QalPerf) also that thy seed H2233 shall be great,§ H7227
And thine offspring H6631 as the grass H6212 of the earth. H776
[26] Thou shalt come H935 (QalImpf) to thy grave H6913 in a full age, H3624
Like as a shock of corn H1430 cometh in H5927 (QalInf)§ in his season. H6256
[27] Lo this, we have searched H2713 (QalPerf) it, so it is;
Hear H8085 (QalImpv) it, and know H3045 (QalImpv) thou it for thy good.§
And to which of the saints H6918 wilt thou turn? H6437 (QalImpf)§
[2] For wrath H3708 killeth H2026 (QalImpf) the foolish man, H191
And envy H7068§ slayeth H4191 (HiphImpf) the silly one. H6601 (QalActPtc)
[3] I have seen H7200 (QalPerf) the foolish H191 taking root: H8327 (HiphPtc)
But suddenly H6597 I cursed H5344 (QalImpf) his habitation. H5116
[4] His children H1121 are far H7368 (QalImpf) from safety, H3468
And they are crushed H1792 (HithImpf) in the gate, H8179
Neither is there any to deliver H5337 (HiphPtc) them.
[5] Whose harvest H7105 the hungry H7457 eateth up, H398 (QalImpf)

Neither doth trouble H5999 spring out H6779 (QalImpf) of the ground; H127
[7] Yet man H120 is born H3205 (PualPerf) unto trouble, H5999§
As the sparks H1121 fly H5774 (QalInf) upward. H1361 (HiphImpf)§
[8] I would seek H199 unto God, H410
And unto God H430 would I commit H7760 (QalImpf) my cause: H1700
[9] Which doeth H6213 (QalActPtc) great things H1419 and unsearchable; H369§

And from the hand H3027 of the mighty. H2389
[16] So the poor H1800 hath hope, H8615
