Job 5:3

A Conservative Version

I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed his habitation.

See the chapter Copy

For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation become desolate, and let no man be dwelling in it, and, Let another take his office.

When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity flourish, it is that they shall be destroyed forever,

Let their habitation be desolate. Let none dwell in their tents.

For what is the hope of the profane, though he gets him gain, when God takes away his soul?

Swiftly they [pass away] upon the face of the waters. Their portion is cursed in the earth. They do not turn into the way of the vineyards.

(yea, I have not allowed my mouth to sin by asking his life with a curse);

For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land, and those who are cursed by him shall be cut off.
