2 Foolish anger kills a person.And jealousy kills a weak-minded person.
3 I have seen a fool have success like a tree taking root.But suddenly his home was destroyed.
4 His children are far away from safety.They are crushed in court with no one to defend them.
5 Hungry people eat this fool’s harvest.They even take what grew up among the thorns.And thirsty people want his wealth.
6 Hard times do not come up from the ground.And trouble does not grow from the earth.
7 But man is born to have troubleas surely as sparks fly upward.
8 “But if I were you, I would call on God.I would bring my problem before him.
