51Call now; is there any that will answer thee? And to which of the holy ones wilt thou turn?+2For vexation killeth the foolish man, And jealousy slayeth the silly one.+3I have seen the foolish taking root: But suddenly I cursed his habitation.+4His children are far from safety, And they are crushed in the gate, Neither is there any to deliver them:+5Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, And taketh it even out of the thorns; And the snare gapeth for their substance.+6For affliction cometh not forth from the dust, Neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;+7But man is born unto trouble, As the sparks fly upward.+8But as for me, I would seek unto God, And unto God would I commit my cause;+9Who doeth great things and unsearchable, Marvellous things without number:+10Who giveth rain upon the earth, And sendeth waters upon the fields;+11So that he setteth up on high those that are low, And those that mourn are exalted to safety.+12He frustrateth the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.+13He taketh the wise in their own craftiness; And the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.+14They meet with darkness in the day-time, And grope at noonday as in the night.+15But he saveth from the sword of their mouth, Even the needy from the hand of the mighty.+16So the poor hath hope, And iniquity stoppeth her mouth.+17Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.+18For he maketh sore, and bindeth up; He woundeth, and his hands make whole.+19He will deliver thee in six troubles; Yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.+20In famine he will redeem thee from death; And in war from the power of the sword.+21Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue; Neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.+22At destruction and dearth thou shalt laugh; Neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.+23For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field; And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.+24And thou shalt know that thy tent is in peace; And thou shalt visit thy fold, and shalt miss nothing.+25Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, And thine offspring as the grass of the earth.+26Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, Like as a shock of grain cometh in in its season.+27Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; Hear it, and know thou it for thy good.+
