call, is
there
any
to
answer thee
? And
unto
which of the holy ones dost
thou
turn?
“
Call out
if
you
please
, but
who
will
answer? To
which of the holy ones will
you
turn?
For provocation
slayeth
the
perverse
, And envy putteth
to
death
the simple ,
For resentment
kills
a
fool
, and envy slays
the simple .
I --
I
have seen the
perverse
taking root, And
I
mark
his habitation
straightway,
I have seen a
fool
taking root, but
suddenly
his house
was
cursed.
Far
are
his sons from safety, And
they
are
bruised
in the
gate,
And
there
is
no
deliverer
.
His sons are
far
from safety, crushed
in court
without
a
defender
.
Whose
harvest
the hungry doth
eat
, And
even from the thorns taketh
it
, And the designing
swallowed
their
wealth.

his
harvest
, taking
it
even from the thorns, and the thirsty
pant
after
his
wealth.
For sorrow
cometh
not forth
from the dust, Nor
from the ground springeth
up
misery
.
For distress
does
not spring
from the dust, and
trouble
does
not
sprout
from the ground.
For
man to
misery
is born ,
And
the
sparks
go
high
to fly.
Yet
man is born to trouble
as
surely
as
sparks
fly upward
.
Yet
I --
I inquire
for
God ,
And for
God
I
give
my word,
However,
if
I were
you,
I would
appeal
to
God and lay
my cause
before
Him—
Doing
great things,
and there
is
no
searching.
Wonderful
, till
there
is
no
numbering
.
the
One
who
does
great and unsearchable
things
, wonders
without
number
.

giving
rain on
the
face
of
the land,
And is
sending
waters
on
the out-places
.

gives
rain to
the earth
and sends
water
upon
the fields
.
To
set
the low
on a
high place
, And
the
mourners have
been
high
`in'
safety.
He
sets
the lowly
on high, so
that
mourners are
lifted
to
safety.
Making
void
thoughts
of the subtile
, And
their hands do
not
execute
wisdom
.
He
thwarts
the
schemes
of the crafty
, so
that
their hands find
no
success
.
Capturing
the wise in their subtilty
, And the counsel
of wrestling
ones
was
hastened,
He
catches
the wise in their craftiness
, and sweeps
away
the plans
of the
cunning.
By
day
they meet
darkness ,
And as
night
--
they
grope at noon.
They encounter
darkness by
day
and grope at noon as
in
the
night
.
And
He saveth
the wasted
from their mouth ,
And from a
strong
hand
the needy,
He saves
the needy
from the
sword
in
their mouth and from the clutches
of
the
powerful.
And
there
is
hope
to
the poor, And perverseness
hath
shut
her
mouth.
So
the poor have
hope
, and injustice
shuts
its
mouth.
Lo,
the happiness
of
mortal
man ,
God doth
reprove
him:
And
the chastisement
of the Mighty
despise
not,
Blessed
indeed
is
the man whom
God corrects;
so
do
not
despise
the discipline
of the Almighty.
For He doth
pain
, and
He bindeth
up,
He smiteth
, and
His hands heal.
For He wounds
, but
He also
binds;
He strikes
, but
His hands also
heal.
In
six
distresses
He delivereth
thee,
And
in seven evil
striketh
not
on
thee
.
He will
rescue
you
from
six
calamities;
no
harm
will
touch
you
in seven.
In famine He hath
redeemed
thee
from death, And in battle from the hands
of the sword.

redeem
you
from death, and in battle from the stroke
of the sword.
When
the tongue scourgeth
thou
art
hid
, And thou
art
not afraid
of
destruction,
When it cometh
.

will
be
hidden
from
the scourge
of
the
tongue, and will

thou

the beast
of the earth ,
Thou
art
not
afraid
.

of the field `is'
thy
covenant
, And the beast
of
the
field
Hath
been
at peace with thee
. )
For you
will
have
a
covenant
with the
stones
of the field, and the wild
animals
will
be
at peace with you
.
And
thou
hast
known
that thy
tent `
is '
peace,
And
inspected
thy
habitation
, and errest
not,
You
will
know
that your
tent is secure
, and find
nothing
amiss
when
inspecting
your
home.
And
hast
known
that numerous
`is'
Thy
seed,
And
thine
offspring as
the herb
of the earth ;
You
will
know
that your
offspring will
be
many,
your
descendants
like
the grass
of the earth .
Thou
comest
in
full
age
unto
the grave, As
the
going
up
of
a stalk
in its
season.
You
will
come
to
the grave in
full
vigor
, like
a sheaf
of
grain
gathered
in season.
Lo
, this
--
we searched
it
out
--
it `
is '
right,
hearken;
And thou,
know for thyself!
Indeed
, we have
investigated,
and
it is true!
So
hear
it
and know for yourself.”
