51Call, I pray thee! Is there any that answereth thee? and to which of the holy ones wilt thou turn?+2For vexation killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the simple.+3I myself saw the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed his habitation.+4His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, and there is no deliverer:+5Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh even out of the thorns; and the snare gapeth for his substance.+6For evil cometh not forth from the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;+7For man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upwards.+8But as for me I will seek untoGod, and untoGod commit my cause;+9Who doeth great things and unsearchable, marvellous things without number;+10Who giveth rain on the face of the earth, and sendeth waters on the face of the fields;+11Setting up on high those that are low; and mourners are exalted to prosperity.+12He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, and their hands carry not out the enterprise.+13He taketh the wise in their own craftiness; and the counsel of the wily is carried headlong:+14They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope at midday as in the night.+15And he saveth the needy from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.+16So the poor hath what he hopeth for, and unrighteousness stoppeth her mouth.+17Behold, happy is the man whomGod correcteth; therefore despise not 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, and 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 hidden from the scourge of the tongue; and thou shalt not be afraid of destruction when it cometh.+22At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh, and of the beasts of the earth thou shalt not be afraid.+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 wilt survey thy fold, and miss nothing.+25And thou shalt know that thy seed is numerous, and thine offspring as the herb of the earth.+26Thou shalt come to the grave in a ripe age, as a shock of corn is brought in in its season.+27Behold this, we have searched it out, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thyself.+
