18:004:018 Behold, he put no trust in his servants;
and his angels he
charged
with folly:
18:004:019 How much less in them that dwell in houses
of clay, whose
foundation
is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?
18:004:020 They are destroyed from morning to evening:
they perish for
ever
without any regarding it.
18:004:021 Doth not their excellency which is in them
go away? they die,
even
without wisdom.
18:005:001 Call now, if there be any that will answer
thee; and to which
of
the saints wilt thou turn?
18:005:002 For wrath killeth the foolish man, and
envy slayeth the silly
one.
18:005:003 I have seen the foolish taking root:
but suddenly I cursed his
habitation.
18:005:004 His children are far from safety, and they
are crushed in the
gate,
neither is there any to deliver them.
18:005:005 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and
taketh it even out of
the
thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
18:005:006 Although affliction cometh not forth of
the dust, neither doth
trouble
spring out of the ground;
18:005:007 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
18:005:008 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
18:005:009 Which doeth great things and unsearchable;
marvellous things
without
number:
18:005:010 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth
waters upon the
fields:
18:005:011 To set up on high those that be low; that
those which mourn
may
be exalted to safety.
18:005:012 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty,
so that their
hands
cannot perform their enterprise.
18:005:013 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness:
and the counsel of
the
froward is carried headlong.
18:005:014 They meet with darkness in the day time,
and grope in the
noonday
as in the night.
18:005:015 But he saveth the poor from the sword,
from their mouth, and
from
the hand of the mighty.
18:005:016 So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
18:005:017 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth:
therefore
despise
not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
18:005:018 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up:
he woundeth, and his hands
make
whole.
18:005:019 He shall deliver thee in six troubles:
yea, in seven there
shall
no evil touch thee.
18:005:020 In famine he shall redeem thee from death:
and in war from the
power
of the sword.
18:005:021 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the
tongue: neither
shalt
thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
