Job 5:4-6
Evangelical Heritage Version

4 His children are far from safety.
They are crushed at the city gate without a defender.
5 His harvest is eaten by the hungry,
    who snatch it away, even from among the thorns,
    and the thirsty[a] swallow his children’s wealth.

6 Disaster does not just spring up from the dust,
nor does trouble sprout from the soil.
