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. 18:005:022 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth. 18:005:023 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee. 18:005:024 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin. 18:005:025 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
