1 ‘Call if you will, but who will answer you?To which of the holy ones will you turn?
2 Resentment kills a fool,and envy slays the simple.
3 I myself have seen a fool taking root,but suddenly his house was cursed.
4 His children are far from safety,crushed in court without a defender.
5 The hungry consume his harvest,taking it even from among thorns,and the thirsty pant after his wealth.
6 For hardship does not spring from the soil,nor does trouble sprout from the ground.
