¹ "Call if you want to, Job, but no one will answer you.
    You can't turn to any of the holy ones.
² Anger kills the fool,
    and jealousy slays the stupid.
³ I have seen a fool succeed,
    but I cursed his home immediately.
⁴ His children are far from safety
    and are crushed in court with no defense.
⁵ The hungry eat his harvest,
    even taking what grew among the thorns,
    and thirsty people want his wealth.
⁶ Hard times do not come up from the ground,
    and trouble does not grow from the earth.
⁷ People produce trouble
    as surely as sparks fly upward.

⁸ "But if I were you, I would call on God
    and bring my problem before him.
⁹ God does wonders that cannot be understood;
    he does so many miracles they cannot be counted.
¹⁰ He gives rain to the earth
    and sends water on the fields.
¹¹ He makes the humble person important
    and lifts the sad to places of safety.
¹² He ruins the plans of those who trick others
    so they have no success.
¹³ He catches the wise in their own clever traps
    and sweeps away the plans of those who try to trick others.
¹⁴ Darkness covers them up in the daytime;
    even at noon they feel around in the dark.
¹⁵ God saves the needy from their lies
    and from the harm done by powerful people.
¹⁶ So the poor have hope,
    while those who are unfair are silenced.

¹⁷ "The one whom God corrects is happy,
    so do not hate being corrected by the Almighty.
¹⁸ God hurts, but he also bandages up;
    he injures, but his hands also heal.
¹⁹ He will save you from six troubles;
    even seven troubles will not harm you.
²⁰ God will buy you back from death in times of hunger,
    and in battle he will save you from the sword.
²¹ You will be protected from the tongue that strikes like a whip,
    and you will not be afraid when destruction comes.
²² You will laugh at destruction and hunger,
    and you will not fear the wild animals,
²³ because you will have an agreement with the stones in the field,
    and the wild animals will be at peace with you.
²⁴ You will know that your tent is safe,
    because you will check the things you own and find nothing missing.
²⁵ You will know that you will have many children,
    and your descendants will be like the grass on the earth.
²⁶ You will come to the grave with all your strength,
    like bundles of grain gathered at the right time.

²⁷ "We have checked this, and it is true,
    so hear it and decide what it means to you."
