5:1 [hgb]  你 且 呼 求 ， 有 谁 答 应 你 ？ 诸 圣 者 之 中 ， 你 转 向 那 一 位 呢 ？
    [kjv]  Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?
    [bbe]  Give now a cry for help; is there anyone who will give you an answer? and to which of the holy ones will you make your prayer?
5:2 [hgb]  忿 怒 害 死 愚 妄 人 ， 嫉 妒 杀 死 痴 迷 人 。
    [kjv]  For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
    [bbe]  For wrath is the cause of death to the foolish, and he who has no wisdom comes to his end through passion.

5:5 [hgb]  他 的 庄 稼 有 饥 饿 的 人 吃 尽 了 ， 就 是 在 荆 棘 里 的 也 抢 去 了 。 他 的 财 宝 有 网 罗 张 口 吞 灭 了 。
    [kjv]  Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
    [bbe]  Their produce is taken by him who has no food, and their grain goes to the poor, and he who is in need of water gets it from their spring.
5:6 [hgb]  祸 患 原 不 是 从 土 中 出 来 。 患 难 也 不 是 从 地 里 发 生 。
    [kjv]  Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
    [bbe]  For evil does not come out of the dust, or trouble out of the earth;
5:7 [hgb]  人 生 在 世 必 遇 患 难 ， 如 同 火 星 飞 腾 。
    [kjv]  Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
    [bbe]  But trouble is man's fate from birth, as the flames go up from the fire.
5:8 [hgb]  至 于 我 ， 我 必 仰 望 神 ， 把 我 的 事 情 托 付 他 。
    [kjv]  I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
    [bbe]  But as for me, I would make my prayer to God, and I would put my cause before him:
5:9 [hgb]  他 行 大 事 不 可 测 度 ， 行 奇 事 不 可 胜 数 。
    [kjv]  Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:
    [bbe]  Who does great things outside our knowledge, wonders without number:
5:10 [hgb]  降 雨 在 地 上 ， 赐 水 于 田 里 。
    [kjv]  Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
    [bbe]  Who gives rain on the earth, and sends water on the fields:
5:11 [hgb]  将 卑 微 的 安 置 在 高 处 ， 将 哀 痛 的 举 到 稳 妥 之 地 。
    [kjv]  To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
    [bbe]  Lifting up those who are low, and putting the sad in a safe place;
5:12 [hgb]  破 坏 狡 猾 人 的 计 谋 ， 使 他 们 所 谋 的 不 得 成 就 。
    [kjv]  He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
    [bbe]  Who makes the designs of the wise go wrong, so that they are unable to give effect to their purposes.
5:13 [hgb]  他 叫 有 智 慧 的 中 了 自 己 的 诡 计 ， 使 狡 诈 人 的 计 谋 速 速 灭 亡 。
    [kjv]  He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.

5:15 [hgb]  神 拯 救 穷 乏 人 ， 脱 离 他 们 口 中 的 刀 ， 和 强 暴 人 的 手 。
    [kjv]  But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
    [bbe]  But he keeps safe from their sword those who have no father, and the poor from the power of the strong.
5:16 [hgb]  这 样 ， 贫 寒 的 人 有 指 望 ， 罪 孽 之 辈 必 塞 口 无 言 。
    [kjv]  So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
    [bbe]  So the poor man has hope, and the mouth of the evil-doer is stopped.
5:17 [hgb]  神 所 惩 治 的 人 是 有 福 的 。 所 以 你 不 可 轻 看 全 能 者 的 管 教 。
    [kjv]  Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
    [bbe]  Truly, that man is happy who has training from the hand of God: so do not let your heart be shut to the teaching of the Ruler of all.
5:18 [hgb]  因 为 他 打 破 ， 又 缠 裹 。 他 击 伤 ， 用 手 医 治 。

5:19 [hgb]  你 六 次 遭 难 ， 他 必 救 你 。 就 是 七 次 ， 灾 祸 也 无 法 害 你 。

    [bbe]  He will keep you safe from six troubles, and in seven no evil will come near you.
5:20 [hgb]  在 饥 荒 中 ， 他 必 救 你 脱 离 死 亡 。 在 争 战 中 ， 他 必 救 你 脱 离 刀 剑 的 权 力 。
    [kjv]  In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
    [bbe]  When there is need of food he will keep you from death, and in war from the power of the sword.
5:21 [hgb]  你 必 被 隐 藏 ， 不 受 口 舌 之 害 。 灾 殃 临 到 ， 你 也 不 惧 怕 。
    [kjv]  Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
    [bbe]  He will keep you safe from the evil tongue; and you will have no fear of wasting when it comes.
5:22 [hgb]  你 遇 见 灾 害 饥 馑 ， 就 必 嬉 笑 。 地 上 的 野 兽 ， 你 也 不 惧 怕 。
    [kjv]  At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
    [bbe]  You will make sport of destruction and need, and will have no fear of the beasts of the earth.

    [kjv]  And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
    [bbe]  And you will be certain that your tent is at peace, and after looking over your property you will see that nothing is gone.
5:25 [hgb]  也 必 知 道 你 的 后 裔 将 来 发 达 ， 你 的 子 孙 像 地 上 的 青 草 。
    [kjv]  Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
    [bbe]  You will be certain that your seed will be great, and your offspring like the plants of the earth.
5:26 [hgb]  你 必 寿 高 年 迈 才 归 坟 墓 ， 好 像 禾 捆 到 时 收 藏 。
    [kjv]  Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.
    [bbe]  You will come to your last resting-place in full strength, as the grain is taken up to the crushing-floor in its time.
5:27 [hgb]  这 理 ， 我 们 已 经 考 察 ， 本 是 如 此 。 你 须 要 听 ， 要 知 道 是 与 自 己 有 益 。
    [kjv]  Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.
    [bbe]  See, we have made search with care, and it is so; it has come to our ears; see that you take note of it for yourself.
