5 Then hungry and greedy peoplegobble up their cropsand grab their wealth.
6 Our suffering isn't causedby the failure of crops;
7 it's all part of life,like sparks shooting skyward.
8 Job, if I were you,I would ask God for help.
9 His miracles are marvelous,more than we can count.
10 God sends showers on earthand waters the fields.
11 He protects the sorrowfuland lifts up thosewho have been disgraced.*
