In context
1But call, if anyone will hearken to thee, Or if thou shalt see any of the holy angels.
2For wrath destroys the foolish one, And envy slays him that has gone astray.
— Job 5:3 —
4Let their children be far from safety, And let them be crushed at the doors of vile men, and let there be no deliverer.
5For what they have collected, the just shall eat; But they shall not be delivered out of calamities: Let their strength be utterly exhausted.
