Job 5:5

The hungry consume his harvest, taking it even from the thorns, and the thirsty pant after his wealth.
In context
3 I have seen a fool taking root, but suddenly his house was cursed.
4 His sons are far from safety, crushed in court without a defender.
5 The hungry consume his harvest, taking it even from the thorns, and the thirsty pant after his wealth.
6 For distress does not spring from the dust, and trouble does not sprout from the ground.
7 Yet man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward.
