Job 5:3-5

English Standard Version

^3 (A)I have seen the fool taking root,
    but suddenly I cursed his dwelling.
⁴ His children are ^(B)far from safety;
    they are crushed in ^(C)the gate,
    and there is no one to deliver them.
⁵ The hungry eat his harvest,
    and he takes it even out of thorns,^[a]
    and the thirsty pant^[b] after his^[c] wealth.
