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