Job 5:6-12 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

6. "For affliction does not come from the dust, Nor does trouble sprout from the ground,

7. For man is born for trouble, As sparks fly upward.

8. "But as for me, I would seek God, And I would place my cause before God;

9. Who does great and unsearchable things, Wonders without number.

10. "He gives rain on the earth And sends water on the fields,

11. So that He sets on high those who are lowly, And those who mourn are lifted to safety.

12. "He frustrates the plotting of the shrewd, So that their hands cannot attain success.
