Job 5:7

Yet man is born to trouble as surely as sparks fly upward.

Job 5:7 · BSB

Job 5:7 in context

The verses around it, from Job 5.

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.

8 However, if I were you, I would appeal to God and lay my cause before Him—

9 the One who does great and unsearchable things, wonders without number.

10 He gives rain to the earth and sends water upon the fields.

11 He sets the lowly on high, so that mourners are lifted to safety.
