Job 5:1-5 New Living Translation (NLT)

1. “Cry for help, but will anyone answer you?Which of the angels will help you?

2. Surely resentment destroys the fool,and jealousy kills the simple.

3. I have seen that fools may be successful for the moment,but then comes sudden disaster.

4. Their children are abandoned far from help;they are crushed in court with no one to defend them.

5. The hungry devour their harvest,even when it is guarded by brambles.The thirsty pant after their wealth.
