Job 5:3 in Context — Job 5

1 Clama agora! Haverá alguém que te responda? E a qual dos santos te voltarás?

2 Pois a ira acaba com o louco, e o zelo mata o tolo.

3 Eu vi ao louco lançar raízes, porém logo amaldiçoei sua habitação.

4 Seus filhos estarão longe da salvação; na porta são despedaçados, e não há quem os livre.

5 O faminto devora sua colheita, e a tira até dentre os espinhos; e o assaltante traga sua riqueza.
