Job 5:3-5

The Voice

³     I have seen a fool putting down roots, apparently succeeding,
        and immediately I cursed his house, knowing this brings destruction.
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.
