5Whose harvest the hungry doth eat, And even from the thorns taketh it, And the designing swallowed their wealth.


In Context

2 For provocation slayeth the perverse, And envy putteth to death the simple,

3 I — I have seen the perverse taking root, And I mark his habitation straightway,

4 Far are his sons from safety, And they are bruised in the gate, And there is no deliverer.

5 Whose harvest the hungry doth eat, And even from the thorns taketh it, And the designing swallowed their wealth.

6 For sorrow cometh not forth from the dust, Nor from the ground springeth up misery.

7 For man to misery is born, And the sparks go high to fly.
