3 I saw a fool who thought he was safe, but suddenly he died.
4 There was no one to help his children. No one defended them in court.
5 Hungry people ate all his crops, even the grain growing among the thorns, and greedy people took all he had.
6 Bad times don’t come up from the dirt. Trouble does not grow from the ground.
7 But people are born to have trouble, as surely as sparks rise from a fire.
8 If I were you, I would turn to God and tell him about my problems.
9 People cannot understand the wonderful things God does. His miracles are too many to count.
