Job 5 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs KJV with Apocrypha
Job 5
1Therefore call, if there are any who will respond to you, and turn to one or another of the saints.
2Truly, anger condemns the foolish to death, and envy kills the petty.
3I have seen a fool with a strong root, and I have cursed his excellence without hesitation.
4His sons will be far from prosperity and will be crushed at the gate, and there will be none who can rescue them.
5Their harvest, the starving will eat. The armed man will rob him, and the thirsty will drink his resources.
6Nothing on earth occurs without a reason, and sorrow does not rise from the earth.
7Man is born to labor, and the bird to fly.
8Therefore, because of this, I will beg the Lord, and place my eloquence before God.
9He does great and unfathomable and miraculous things without number.
10He gives rain over the face of the earth and irrigates all things with the waters.
11He places the humble on high and encourages the grieving towards health.
12He dispels the thoughts of the spiteful, lest their hands be able to complete what they had begun.
13He catches the wise in their cleverness and dissipates the counsel of the perverse.
14They will encounter darkness in the daytime, and they will grope at midday just as in the night.
15Thereafter, he will act to save the needy from the sword of their mouth, and the poor from the hand of the violent.
16And there will be hope for those in need, for iniquity will diminish its speech.
17Blessed is the man whom God corrects; therefore, do not reject the chastisement of the Lord.
18For he wounds and he cures; he strikes and his hands will heal.
19He will deliver you into six tribulations, and in the seventh, evil will not touch you.
20During famine, he will rescue you from death, and during war, from the hand of the sword.
21You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and you will not fear calamity when it arrives.
22In desolation and in famine, you will laugh, and you will not dread the beasts of the earth.
23For you are in harmony with the stones of the land, and the beasts of the earth will make peace with you.
24And you will know that your home has peace, and, concerning your appearance, you will not sin.
25Likewise, you will know that your offspring will be manifold and your progeny will be like the grass of the earth.
26You will enter the grave with abundance, just as a crop of wheat is gathered in its time.
27Behold, this is just as we have found it, which you have heard; walk it through your mind.
Job 5
1Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?
2For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
3I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
4His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.
5Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
6Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
7Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
8I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
9Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:
10Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
11To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
12He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
13He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
14They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
15But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
16So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
17Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
18For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
19He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
20In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
21Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
22At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
23For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
24And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
25Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
26Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.
27Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.
