King James Version
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
Call now
, if
there be
any that
will
answer thee ;
and to
which of the saints
wilt
thou turn?
Pray,
call, is
there any to
answer thee ?
And unto
which of the holy
ones
dost
thou turn?
For wrath
killeth
the foolish
man
, and envy slayeth
the silly
one.
For provocation
slayeth
the perverse
, And envy putteth
to
death
the simple,
I have seen the foolish
taking root :
but
suddenly
I cursed
his habitation .
I --
I
have seen the perverse
taking root ,
And
I mark
his habitation straightway,
His
children
are
far from safety, and they are crushed
in the gate, neither
is
there any
to
deliver
them
.
Far are
his
sons
from safety, And they are bruised
in the gate, And
there is
no
deliverer
.
Whose harvest the hungry eateth
up
, and taketh
it
even out
of
the thorns, and the robber
swalloweth
up
their substance
.
Whose harvest the hungry doth
eat
, And even from
the thorns taketh
it
, And the designing
swallowed
their wealth
.
Although
affliction
cometh not forth of
the dust, neither
doth
trouble
spring
out
of
the ground ;
For
sorrow
cometh not forth from
the dust, Nor
from
the ground springeth
up
misery.
Yet
man is born unto
trouble
, as
the sparks fly upward
.
For
man to
misery
is born, And
the sparks go
high
to
fly.
I would
seek
unto
God, and unto
God would
I commit
my cause:
Yet
I --
I
inquire
for
God, And for
God I give
my word,
Which
doeth
great things and unsearchable;
marvellous
things
without
number:
Doing
great things ,
and there
is
no
searching.
Wonderful,
till
there
is
no
numbering.
Who giveth
rain upon
the earth
, and sendeth
waters upon
the fields:
Who is
giving
rain on
the face
of
the
land
, And is
sending
waters on
the out-places.
To set up
on high those
that
be
low;
that
those
which
mourn
may
be
exalted
to
safety.
To set the
low
on a
high place,
And
the
mourners
have
been
high
`in'
safety.
He
disappointeth
the
devices
of the crafty
, so
that
their hands cannot
perform
their
enterprise
.
Making
void
thoughts
of the subtile
, And
their hands do
not
execute
wisdom
.
He
taketh
the wise in their own
craftiness:
and the counsel of the
froward
is
carried
headlong.
Capturing
the wise in their subtilty,
And the counsel of wrestling
ones
was
hastened,
They meet with
darkness in
the
day
time
, and grope
in
the
noonday
as in
the
night.
By
day
they meet darkness, And as night --
they
grope
at
noon
.
But
he saveth the poor
from
the
sword,
from their mouth, and from the
hand of
the mighty.
And
He saveth the wasted
from their mouth, And from a
strong
hand the needy,
So
the poor hath
hope
, and iniquity
stoppeth
her mouth.
And
there
is
hope
to
the poor, And perverseness
hath
shut
her mouth.
Behold
, happy
is
the man whom
God correcteth
: therefore
despise
not
thou
the chastening
of the Almighty:
Lo
, the happiness
of
mortal
man ,
God doth
reprove
him
: And
the chastisement
of the Mighty
despise
not,
For he maketh
sore
, and bindeth up :
he woundeth
, and his hands make
whole
.
For He doth
pain
, and He
bindeth up ,
He smiteth
, and His hands heal
.
He
shall
deliver
thee
in six troubles:
yea
, in seven there
shall
no
evil touch
thee.
In six distresses
He
delivereth
thee
, And
in seven evil striketh
not
on
thee.
In famine he shall
redeem
thee from death :
and in war
from the power
of the sword.
In famine He hath
redeemed
thee from death ,
And in battle
from the hands
of the sword.
Thou
shalt
be
hid
from
the
scourge
of
the tongue :
neither
shalt
thou be
afraid of destruction when it cometh.
When
the tongue scourgeth
thou art
hid,
And
thou
art
not
afraid of destruction ,
When it cometh.
At destruction and famine
thou
shalt
laugh:
neither
shalt
thou be
afraid
of the beasts
of the earth.
At destruction and at
hunger
thou mockest,
And
of the beast
of the earth ,
Thou
art
not
afraid
.
For thou
shalt
be
in
league
with the
stones
of the field :
and the beasts
of the field shall
be
at peace with thee.
(
For with sons
of the field `is'
thy
covenant,
And the beast
of the field Hath
been
at peace with thee. )
And thou shalt
know
that thy tabernacle
shall
be
in
peace ;
and thou
shalt
visit
thy habitation, and shalt
not sin.
And thou hast
known
that thy tent
`is'
peace ,
And inspected
thy habitation, and errest
not ,
Thou
shalt
know
also
that thy seed shall
be
great
, and thine offspring as the grass
of the earth .
And
hast
known
that numerous
`is'
Thy seed, And thine offspring as the herb
of the earth ;
Thou shalt
come
to
thy
grave
in a
full age, like
as a
shock
of corn
cometh
in
in his
season.
Thou comest
in full age unto
the
grave
, As the
going
up
of a
stalk
in its
season.
Lo this
, we have
searched it ,
so
it is ;
hear
it
, and know
thou it
for thy
good.
Lo, this
--
we searched it out
--
it `
is '
right
, hearken;
And thou ,
know
for thyself!
