Job 5:3-5

Revised Standard Version

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