who gives rain on the earth and sends waters on the field,

For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

And thou shalt know that thy tent is in peace; And thou shalt visit thy fold, and shalt miss nothing.

And thou shalt know, that numerous is thy seed, and, thine offspring, like the young shoots of the field.

And if not my help in me? and deliverance fled from me?

My days have been swifter than a runner, They have fled, they have not seen good,

And so a hollow-minded man will get wisdom, when a young ass of the field gets teaching.

then you will hold your head high, free from fault.
You will be firmly established and unafraid.

But the eyes of the evil-doers will be wasting away; their way of flight is gone, and their only hope is the taking of their last breath.

Or to the things which go flat on the earth, and they will give you wisdom; and the fishes of the sea will give you news of it.

Will you be hard on a leaf in flight before the wind? will you make a dry stem go more quickly on its way?

He comes out like a flower, and is cut down: he goes in flight like a shade, and is never seen again.

As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:

His memorial, have perished out of the land, and let him have no name over the face of the open field;

He is gone like a dream, and is not seen again; he goes in flight like a vision of the night.

If he have fled from the iron weapon, the bow of brass shall strike him through.

A flood will wash away his house; dragging it away when God becomes angry.

They {sing} to [the] tambourine and lyre, and they rejoice to [the] sound of [the] long flute.

Or darkness, so that you cannot see,
And a flood of water covers you.

Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he seeth not; And he walketh on the vault of heaven.

Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:

They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.

They float on the surface of the water.
Their section of the land is cursed,
so that they never go to their vineyards.

By his spirit he polished the heavens; his hand pierced the flat serpent

“Terrors overtake him like a [suddenly rising] flood;
A windstorm steals him away in the night.

God sends his arrows against him without mercy; he goes in flight before his hand.

The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.

On [the] right hand the brood rises up; {they put me to flight}, and they build up their {siege ramps} against me.

So my lyre came to be [used] for mourning, and my flute [for the] voice of [those who] weep.

Then let me sow, and let another eat; Yea, let the produce of my field be rooted out.

Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom. GOD, must put him to flight, not man.

'I am clean without any fault, I am innocent, and there is no wickedness in me.

Look, he finds fault against me; he reckons me as his enemy;

I must needs be a liar, though my cause be right, and violently am I plagued whereas I made no fault.'

Do you understand how the clouds float,
those wonderful works of Him who has perfect knowledge?

Who hath divided a channel for the rain-flood, and a way for the thunder's flash;

Can you lift up your voice to the clouds so that a flood of water may cover you?

Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open field; They go forth, and return not again.

The wing of the ostrich beats joyously; though not like the stork's pinions for flight.

And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the beast of the field may trample them.

“Yet when she lifts herself on high,
[So swift is she that] she laughs at the horse and his rider.

Does the hawk take flight by your understanding
and spread its wings to the south?

“Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty?
Let him who disputes with God answer it.”

Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

Lo, a flood oppresseth -- he doth not haste, He is confident though Jordan Doth come forth unto his mouth.

The arrow is not able to put him to flight: stones are no more to him than dry stems.
