Job 5 — Douay-Rheims Bible

Call now, if there be any that will answer thee, and turn to some of the saints.● Anger indeed killeth the foolish, and envy slayeth the little one.● I have seen a fool with a strong root, and I cursed his beauty immediately.● His children shall be far from safety, and shall be destroyed in the gate, and there shall be none to deliver them.● Whose harvest the hungry shall eat, and the armed man shall take him by violence, and the thirsty shall drink up his riches.● Nothing upon earth is done without a cause, and sorrow doth not spring out of the ground.● Man is born to labour, and the bird to fly.● Wherefore I will pray to the Lord, and address my speech to God:● Who doth great things, and unsearchable and wonderful things without number:● Who giveth rain upon the face of the earth, and watereth all things with waters:● Who setteth up the humble on high, and comforteth with health those that mourn.● Who bringeth to nought the designs of the malignant, so that their hands cannot accomplish what they had begun:● Who catcheth the wise in their craftiness, and disappointeth the counsel of the wicked:● They shall meet with darkness in the day, and grope at noonday as in the night.● But he shall save the needy from the sword of their mouth, and the poor from the hand of the violent.● And to the needy there shall be hope, but iniquity shall draw in her mouth.● Blessed is the man whom God correcteth: refuse not, therefore, the chastising of the Lord.● For he woundeth, and cureth: he striketh, and his hands shall heal.● In six troubles he shall deliver thee, and in the seventh, evil shall not touch thee.● In famine he shall deliver thee from death; and in battle, from the hand of the sword.● Thou shalt be hidden from the scourge of the tongue: and thou shalt not fear calamity when it cometh.● In destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: and thou shalt not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.● But thou shalt have a covenant with the stones of the lands, and the beasts of the earth shall be at peace with thee.● And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle is in peace, and visiting thy beauty, thou shalt not sin.● Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be multiplied, and thy offspring like the grass of the earth.● Thou shalt enter into the grave in abundance, as a heap of wheat is brought in its season.● Behold, this is even so, as we have searched out: which thou having heard, consider it thoroughly in thy mind.●
