Red-Letter King James Bible 1769 Edition (KJV)

Job 5

1 The harm of inconsideration. 3 The end of the wicked is misery. 6 God is to be regarded in affliction. 17 The happy end of God's correction.

 5:1 ¶ Call 7121 z8798 now, x4994 if there be 3426 any that will answer 6030 z8802 thee; and to x413 which x4310 of the saints 6918 x4480 wilt thou turn? 6437 z8799

 5:2 For x3588 wrath 3708 killeth 2026 z8799 the foolish x191 man, y191 and envy 7068 slayeth 4191 z8686 the silly x6601 one. y6601 z8802

 5:3 I x589 have seen 7200 z8804 the foolish 191 taking root: 8327 z8688 but suddenly 6597 I cursed 5344 z8799 his habitation. 5116

 5:4 His children 1121 are far 7368 z8799 from safety, 3468 x4480 and they are crushed 1792 z8691 in the gate, 8179 neither x369 [is there] any to deliver 5337 z8688 [them].

 5:5 Whose x834 harvest 7105 the hungry 7457 eateth up, 398 z8799 and taketh 3947 z8799 it even out y413 of x413 the thorns, 6791 x4480 and the robber 6782 swalloweth up 7602 z8804 their substance. 2428

 5:6 Although x3588 affliction 205 cometh not forth 3318 z8799 x3808 of the dust, 6083 x4480 neither x3808 doth trouble 5999 spring x6779 out y6779 z8799 of the ground; 127 x4480

 5:7 Yet x3588 man 120 is born 3205 z8795 unto trouble, 5999 as the sparks 1121 7565 fly 5774 z8800 upward. 1361 z8686

 5:8 I x589 would seek 1875 y199 z8799 unto x413 God, 410 and unto x413 God 430 would I commit 7760 z8799 my cause: 1700

 5:9 Which doeth 6213 z8802 great things 1419 and unsearchable; 369 2714 marvellous things 6381 z8737 without x5704 x369 number: 4557

 5:10 Who giveth 5414 z8802 rain 4306 upon 6440 x5921 the earth, 776 and sendeth 7971 z8802 waters 4325 upon 6440 x5921 the fields: 2351

 5:11 To set up 7760 z8800 on high 4791 those that be low; 8217 that those which mourn 6937 z8802 may be exalted 7682 z8804 to safety. 3468

 5:12 He disappointeth 6565 z8688 the devices 4284 of the crafty, 6175 so that their hands 3027 cannot x3808 perform 6213 z8799 [their] enterprise. 8454

 5:13 He taketh 3920 z8802 the wise 2450 in their own craftiness: 6193 and the counsel 6098 of the froward 6617 z8737 is carried headlong. 4116 z8737

 5:14 They meet 6298 z8762 with darkness 2822 in the daytime, 3119 and grope 4959 z8762 in the noonday 6672 as in the night. 3915

 5:15 But he saveth 3467 z8686 the poor 34 from the sword, 2719 x4480 from their mouth, 6310 x4480 and from the hand 3027 x4480 of the mighty. 2389

 5:16 So the poor 1800 hath x1961 hope, 8615 and iniquity 5766 stoppeth 7092 z8804 her mouth. 6310

 5:17 Behold, x2009 happy 835 [is] the man 582 whom God 433 correcteth: 3198 z8686 therefore despise 3988 z8799 not x408 thou the chastening 4148 of the Almighty: 7706

 5:18 For x3588 he x1931 maketh sore, 3510 z8686 and bindeth up: 2280 z8799 he woundeth, 4272 z8799 and his hands 3027 make whole. 7495 z8799

 5:19 He shall deliver 5337 z8686 thee in six 8337 troubles: 6869 yea, in seven 7651 there shall no x3808 evil 7451 touch 5060 z8799 thee.

 5:20 In famine 7458 he shall redeem 6299 z8804 thee from death: 4194 x4480 and in war 4421 from the power 3027 x4480 of the sword. 2719

 5:21 Thou shalt be hid 2244 z8735 from the scourge 7752 of the tongue: 3956 neither x3808 shalt thou be afraid 3372 z8799 of destruction 7701 x4480 when x3588 it cometh. 935 z8799

 5:22 At destruction 7701 and famine 3720 thou shalt laugh: 7832 z8799 neither x408 shalt thou be afraid 3372 z8799 of the beasts 2416 x4480 of the earth. 776

 5:23 For x3588 thou shalt be in league 1285 with x5973 the stones 68 of the field: 7704 and the beasts 2416 of the field 7704 shall be at peace 7999 z8717 with thee.

 5:24 And thou shalt know 3045 z8804 that thy tabernacle 168 [shall be] in peace; 7965 and thou shalt visit 6485 z8804 thy habitation, 5116 and shalt not sin. 2398 z8799 x3808

 5:25 Thou shalt know 3045 z8804 also that x3588 thy seed 2233 [shall be] great, 7227 and thine offspring 6631 as the grass 6212 of the earth. 776

 5:26 Thou shalt come 935 z8799 to x413 [thy] grave 6913 in a full age, 3624 like as a shock of corn 1430 cometh in 5927 z8800 in his season. 6256

 5:27 Lo x2009 this, x2063 we have searched 2713 z8804 it, so x3651 it x1931 [is]; hear 8085 z8798 it, and know 3045 z8798 thou x859 [it] for thy good.
