2 For wrath killeth the foolish man and envy slayeth the silly one
3 I have seen the foolish taking root but suddenly I cursed his habitation
4 His children are far from safety and they are crushed in the gate neither is there any to deliver them
5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up and taketh it even out of the thorns and the robber swalloweth up their substance
6 Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust neither doth trouble spring out of the ground
7 Yet man is born unto trouble as the sparks __ fly upward
8 I would seek __ unto God and unto God would I commit my cause
9 Which doeth great things and unsearchable __ marvellous things without number
10 Who giveth rain upon the earth and sendeth waters upon the fields
11 To set up on high those that be low that those which mourn may be exalted to safety
12 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise
13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong
14 They meet with darkness in the daytime and grope in the noonday as in the night
15 But he saveth the poor from the sword from their mouth and from the hand of the mighty
16 So the poor hath hope and iniquity stoppeth her mouth
17 Behold happy is the man whom God correcteth therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty
18 For he maketh sore and bindeth up he woundeth and his hands make whole
19 He shall deliver thee in six troubles yea in seven there shall no evil touch thee
20 In famine he shall redeem thee from death and in war from the power of the sword
21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh
22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth
23 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee
24 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace and thou shalt visit thy habitation and shalt not sin
25 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great and thine offspring as the grass of the earth
26 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season
27 Lo this we have searched it so it is hear it and know thou it for thy good
