Job 5:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³ I have seen a fool have success like a tree taking root.
    But suddenly his home was destroyed.
⁴ His children are far away from safety.
    They are crushed in court with no one to defend them.
⁵ Hungry people eat this fool’s harvest.
    They even take what grew up among the thorns.
    And thirsty people want his wealth.
