Job 5:1-4 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. Call now! Will anyone respond to you?To which of the holy ones will you turn?

2. Surely impatience kills the fooland indignation slays the simpleton.

3. I have seen a fool spreading his roots,but I cursed his household suddenly:

4. May his children be far from safety;may they be crushed at the gate without a rescuer.
