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.

8 Yet I — I inquire for God, And for God I give my word,

9 Doing great things, and there is no searching. Wonderful, till there is no numbering.
