Job 5:3-5

New Living Translation

³ I have seen that fools may be successful for the moment,
    but then comes sudden disaster.
⁴ Their children are abandoned far from help;
    they are crushed in court with no one to defend them.
⁵ The hungry devour their harvest,
    even when it is guarded by brambles.^[a]
    The thirsty pant after their wealth.^[b]
