Job 5:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 5:4

Compare all

2 For wrath kills a foolish man,
And envy slays a simple one.

3 ^aI have seen the foolish taking root,
But suddenly I cursed his dwelling place.

4 His sons are ^afar from safety,
They are crushed in the gate,
And ^bthere is no deliverer.

5 Because the hungry eat up his harvest,
¹Taking it even from the thorns,
¹And a snare snatches their² substance.

6 For affliction does not come from the dust,
Nor does trouble spring from the ground;
