Job 5:7 in Context — Job 5

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

6 Porque a aflição não procede do pó da terra, nem a opressão brota do chão.

7 Mas o ser humano nasce para a opressão, assim como as faíscas das brasas se levantam a voar.

8 Porém eu buscaria a Deus, e a ele confiaria minha causa;

9 [Pois] ele é o que faz coisas grandiosas e incompreensíveis, e inúmeras maravilhas.
