4
His children are 1far from safety; they are crushed in 2the gate, and there is no one to deliver them.
5
The hungry eat his harvest, and he takes it even out of thorns,a and the thirsty pantb after hisc wealth.
6
For affliction does not come from the dust, nor does trouble sprout from the ground,
7
but man is 3born to trouble as the sparks fly upward.
8
"As for me, I would seek God, and to God would I commit my cause,
10
he gives 7rain on the earth and sends waters on the fields;
11
he 8sets on high those who are lowly, and those who mourn are lifted to safety.
12
He 9frustrates the devices of the crafty, so that their hands achieve no success.
13
He 10catches the wise in their own craftiness, and the schemes of the wily are brought to a quick end.
14
They meet with darkness in the daytime and 11grope at noonday as in the night.
