Job 5:8 in context

Job 5:5–11

5

whose harvest the hungry eat up,

and take it even out of the thorns.

The snare gapes for their substance.

6

For affliction doesn’t come out of the dust,

neither does trouble spring out of the ground;

7

but man is born to trouble,

as the sparks fly upward.

8
Selected verse

“But as for me, I would seek God.

I would commit my cause to God,

9

who does great things that can’t be fathomed,

marvelous things without number;

10

who gives rain on the earth,

and sends waters on the fields;

11

so that he sets up on high those who are low,

those who mourn are exalted to safety.
