Job 5:2-4

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

² Surely vexation kills the fool,
    and jealousy slays the simple.^(A)
3 I have seen fools taking root,
    but suddenly I cursed their dwelling.^(B)
4 Their children are far from safety,
    they are crushed in the gate,
    and there is no one to deliver them.^(C)
