Job 5:3-5
Common English Bible

3 I’ve seen the foolish take root
    and promptly curse their house.
4 Their children are far[a] from safety,
    crushed in the gate without a deliverer.
5 The hungry devour[b] their crops;
    it’s taken even from the thorns,[c]
    and the thirsty pant after their yield.
