51Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?+2For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy 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 robber swalloweth up their substance.+6Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;+7Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.+8I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:+9Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:+10Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:+11To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.+12He disappointeth 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 froward is carried headlong.+14They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.+15But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and 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 shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.+20In famine he shall 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 famine 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 tabernacle
shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.+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 corn cometh in in his season.+27Lo this, we have searched it, so it
is; hear it, and know thou
it for thy good.+
