Job 5:4-6

New International Reader's Version

⁴ Their children aren’t safe at all.
    They lose their case in court.
    No one speaks up for them.
⁵ Hungry people eat up the crops of the foolish.
    They even take the food that grows among thorns.
    Thirsty people long for the wealth of the foolish.
⁶ Hard times don’t just grow out of the soil.
    Trouble doesn’t jump out of the ground.
