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.
7 Yet man is born to troubleas surely as sparks fly upwards.
8 ‘But if I were you, I would appeal to God;I would lay my cause before him.
9 He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed,miracles that cannot be counted.
10 He provides rain for the earth;he sends water on the countryside.
