Job 5:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ I saw that foolish people were having success.
    But suddenly harm came to their homes.
⁴ Their children aren’t safe at all.
    They lose their case in court.
    No one speaks up for them.
⁵ Hungry people eat up the crops of the foolish.
    They even take the food that grows among thorns.
    Thirsty people long for the wealth of the foolish.
