Job 5:4-6

Good News Translation

⁴ Their children can never find safety;
    no one stands up to defend them in court.
⁵ Hungry people will eat the fool's crops—
    even the grain growing among thorns^[a]—
    and thirsty people will envy his wealth.
⁶ Evil does not grow in the soil,
    nor does trouble grow out of the ground.
