| # Chapter 5
#### 1 | Call now if there be any that will answer thee, and turn to some of the saints.
#### 2 | Anger indeed killeth the foolish, and envy slayeth the little one.
#### 3 | I have seen a fool with a strong root, and I cursed his beauty immediately.
#### 4 | His children shall be far from safety, and shall be destroyed in the gate, and there shall be none to deliver them.
#### 5 | Whose harvest the hungry shall eat, and the armed man shall take him by violence, and the thirsty shall drink up his riches.
#### 6 | Nothing upon earth is done without a voice cause, and sorrow doth not spring out of the ground.
#### 7 | Man is born to labour and the bird to fly.
#### 8 | Wherefore I will pray to the Lord, and address my speech to God:
#### 9 | Who doth great things and unsearchable and wonderful things without number:
#### 10 | Who giveth rain upon the face of the earth, and watereth all things with waters:
#### 11 | Who setteth up the humble on high, and comforteth with health those that mourn.
#### 12 | Who bringeth to nought the designs of the malignant, so that their hands cannot accomplish what they had begun:
#### 13 | Who catcheth the wise in their craftiness, and disappointeth the counsel of the wicked:
#### 14 | They shall meet with darkness in the day, and grope at noonday as in the night.
#### 15 | But he shall save the needy from the sword of their mouth, and the poor from the hand of the violent.
#### 16 | And to the needy there shall he hope, but iniquity shall draw in her mouth.
#### 17 | Blessed is the mall whom God correcteth: refuse not therefore the chastising of the lord:
#### 18 | For he woundeth, and cureth: he striketh, and his hands shall heal.
#### 19 | In six troubles he shall deliver thee, and in the seventh, evil shall not touch thee.
#### 20 | In famine he shall deliver thee from death: and in battle, from the hand of the sword.
#### 21 | Thou shalt he hidden from the scourge of the tongue: and thou shalt not fear calamity when it cometh.
#### 22 | In destruction and famine then shalt laugh: and thou shalt not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
#### 23 | But thou shalt have a covenant with the stones of the lands, and the beasts of the earth shall be at pence with thee.
#### 24 | And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle is in peace, and visiting thy beauty thou shalt not sin.
#### 25 | Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be multiplied, and thy offspring like the grass of the earth.
#### 26 | Thou shalt enter into the grave in abundance, as a heap of wheat is brought in its season.
#### 27 | Behold, this is even so, as we have searched oat: which thou having heard, consider it thoroughly in thy mind.
