3 "I have seen the foolish taking root, And I cursed his abode immediately.
4 "His sons are far from safety, They are even oppressed in the gate, And there is no deliverer.
5 "His harvest the hungry devour And take it to a place of thorns, And the schemer is eager for their wealth.
6 "For affliction does not come from the dust, Nor does trouble sprout from the ground,
7 For man is born for trouble, As sparks fly upward.
8 "But as for me, I would seek God, And I would place my cause before God;
9 Who does great and unsearchable things, Wonders without number.
