6 Hard times do not come up from the ground,and trouble does not grow from the earth.
7 People produce troubleas surely as sparks fly upward.
8 “But if I were you, I would call on Godand bring my problem before him.
9 God does wonders that cannot be understood;he does so many miracles they cannot be counted.
10 He gives rain to the earthand sends water on the fields.
11 He makes the humble person importantand lifts the sad to places of safety.
12 He ruins the plans of those who trick othersso they have no success.
