Job 5:3-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

³ I have seen a stubborn fool take root,
but I quickly cursed his house.
⁴ His children are far from help.
They are crushed at the city gate,
and no one is there to rescue them.
⁵ What a stubborn fool gathers, hungry people eat.
They take it even from among the thorns,
and thirsty people pant after his wealth.
