6 For distress does not grow out of the soil,and trouble does not sprout from the ground.
7 But mankind is born for trouble as surely as sparks fly upward.
8 However, if I were you, I would appeal to Godand would present my case to Him.
9 He does great and unsearchable things,wonders without number.
10 He gives rain to the earthand sends water to the fields.
11 He sets the lowly on high,and mourners are lifted to safety.
12 He frustrates the schemes of the craftyso that they achieve no success.
