3 I have seen a stubborn fool take root,but I quickly cursed his house.
4 His children are far from help.They are crushed at the city gate,and no one is there to rescue them.
5 What a stubborn fool gathers, hungry people eat.They take it even from among the thorns,and thirsty people pant after his wealth.
6 Certainly, sorrow doesn’t come from the soil,and trouble doesn’t sprout from the ground.
7 But a person is born for trouble as surely as sparks fly up ⌊from a fire⌋.
8 “But I would seek God’s helpand present my case to him.
9 He does great things that ⌊we⌋ cannot understandand miracles that ⌊we⌋ cannot count.
