Call now, if there be any that will answer thee. . . .

Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust,

neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;

Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.

I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:

Which doeth great things and unsearchable;

Marvellous things without number:

Who giveth rain upon the earth,

and sendeth waters upon the fields:

To set up on high those that be low;

that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.

JOB 5:1, 6-11
