1 Call now, if there be any that will answer you; and to which of the holy ones will you turn?
2 For wrath kills the foolish man, and envy slays the simple one.
3 I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.
5 Whose harvest the hungry eats up, and takes it even out of the thorns, and the robber swallows up their wealth.
6 For affliction comes not forth from the dust, neither does trouble spring out of the ground;
7 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
