Job 5:4-6
The Voice
4 His children are far from safe,
crushed in full view of the city’s gate with no defender nearby.
5 Hungry raiders consume his crops,
harvesting even where the thorns stand guard[a]
while drifters and con-men target his wealth.
6 You see, sorrow is not a natural product of the soil,
nor is trouble known to sprout up from the earth itself.
