2 To worry yourself to death with resentmentwould be a foolish, senseless thing to do.
3 I have seen fools who looked secure,but I called down a sudden curse on their homes.
4 Their children can never find safety;no one stands up to defend them in court.
5 Hungry people will eat the fool's crops —even the grain growing among thorns —and thirsty people will envy his wealth.
6 Evil does not grow in the soil,nor does trouble grow out of the ground.
7 No indeed! People bring trouble on themselves,as surely as sparks fly up from a fire.
8 If I were you, I would turn to Godand present my case to him.
