Job 5:3-5

Lexham English Bible

³ I have seen a fool taking root,
but^[a] suddenly I cursed his dwelling.
⁴ His children are far from deliverance,
and they are crushed in the gate,
and there is no deliverer—
⁵ whose harvest the hungry eats,
and he takes it from behind^[b] the thorns;
and the thirsty pants after their wealth.
