God Is Just
1
“Call now, is there anyone who will answer you?
And to which of the holy ones will you turn?
2
“For irritation kills the fool,
And jealousy brings death to the simple.
3
“I have seen the fool taking root,
And I cursed his home immediately.
4
“His sons are far from safety,
They are also oppressed at the gate,
And there is no one to save them.
5
“The hungry devour his harvest
And take it to a place of thorns,
And the schemer is eager for their wealth.
6
“For disaster does not come from the dust,
Nor does trouble sprout from the ground,
7
For man is born for trouble,
As sparks fly upward.
