For disaster does not come from the dust, Nor does trouble sprout from the ground,

祸患原不是从土中出来；患难也不是从地里发生。

因为祸患不是从尘土中出来，患难也不是从土地里长出。

因为祸患不是从尘土中出来，患难也不是从土地里长出。

苦难并非从土里长出，患难并非从地里生出。

患难不从土中生出来，劳碌不由地里长出来；

禍患原不是從土中出來；患難也不是從地裏發生。

因為禍患不是從塵土中出來，患難也不是從土地裏長出。

因為禍患不是從塵土中出來，患難也不是從土地裏長出。

苦難並非從土裡長出，患難並非從地裡生出。

患難不從土中生出來，勞碌不由地裡長出來；

因為禍患並非從塵土中出，苦難也不是從土地裏生起的；

禍非自土而生、災非自地而發、

患害之至、非若平地而生草萊、

禍患非自土而生、災害非自地而長、

For hardship does not spring from the soil, nor does trouble sprout from the ground.

Hard times don’t just grow out of the soil. Trouble doesn’t jump out of the ground.

For affliction does not come from the dust, nor does trouble sprout from the ground,

But evil does not spring from the soil, and trouble does not sprout from the earth.

For distress does not grow out of the soil, and trouble does not sprout from the ground.

For affliction does not come from the dust, Nor does trouble spring from the ground;

For affliction cometh not forth from the dust, Neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;

For distress does not grow out of the soil, and trouble does not sprout from the ground.

Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;

For evil does not come up from the dust, nor does trouble spring up from the ground,

For affliction doesn’t come out of the dust, neither does trouble spring out of the ground;

Had I not feared the provocation by the enemy, That their adversaries would misjudge, That they would say,“ Our hand is triumphant, And the Lord has not performed all this.” ’

For we have been consumed by Your anger, And we have been terrified by Your wrath.

If a trumpet is blown in a city, will the people not tremble? If a disaster occurs in a city, has the Lord not brought it about?

Is it not from the mouth of the Most High That both adversity and good proceed?

The One forming light and creating darkness, Causing well being and creating disaster; I am the Lord who does all these things.

When He keeps quiet, who can condemn? And when He hides His face, who then can look at Him, That is, regarding both nation and a person?—

See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many become defiled;

They speak mere words, With worthless oaths they make covenants; And judgment sprouts like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.

But watch: if it goes up by the way of its own territory to Beth shemesh, then He has done this great evil to us. But if not, then we will know that it was not His hand that struck us; it happened to us by chance.”
