Eliphaz: Job Is Chastened by God

1 “Call out now;
Is there anyone who will answer you?
And to which of the holy ones will you turn?
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;
7 Yet man is aborn to trouble,
As the sparks fly upward. 
8 “But as for me, I would seek God,
And to God I would commit my cause—
9 Who does great things, and unsearchable,
Marvelous things without number.
