Job 5:3-5

Holman Christian Standard Bible

³ I have seen a fool taking root,
but I immediately pronounced a curse on his home.
⁴ His children are far from safety.
They are crushed at the city gate,^(A)
with no one to rescue them.
⁵ The hungry consume his harvest,
even taking it out of the thorns.^[a]
The thirsty^[b] pant for his children’s wealth.
