¹Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?1 sermon²For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.1 sermon³I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.1 sermon⁴His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.1 sermon⁵Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.1 sermon⁶Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;1 sermon⁷Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.5 sermons⁸I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:1 sermon⁹Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:1 sermon¹⁰Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:2 sermons¹¹To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.1 sermon¹²He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.1 sermon¹³He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.1 sermon¹⁴They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.1 sermon¹⁵But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.1 sermon¹⁶So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.1 sermon¹⁷Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:4 sermons¹⁸For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.1 sermon¹⁹He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.1 sermon²⁰In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.1 sermon²¹Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.1 sermon²²At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.1 sermon²³For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.1 sermon²⁴And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.1 sermon²⁵Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.1 sermon²⁶Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.1 sermon²⁷Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.3 sermons
