For affliction does not come from the dust, Nor does trouble spring 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 disaster does not come from the dust, Nor does trouble sprout 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 wrath of the enemy, Lest their adversaries should misunderstand, Lest they should say,“ Our hand is high; And it is not the Lord who has done all this.”’

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

If a trumpet is blown in a city, will not the people be afraid? If there is calamity in a city, will not the Lord have done it?

Is it not from the mouth of the Most High That woe and well-being proceed?

I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, the Lord, do all these things.’

When He gives quietness, who then can make trouble? And when He hides His face, who then can see Him, Whether it is against a nation or a man alone?—

looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled;

They have spoken words, Swearing falsely in making a covenant. Thus judgment springs up like hemlock in the furrows of the field.

And watch: if it goes up the road to its own territory, to Beth Shemesh, then He has done us this great evil. But if not, then we shall know that it is not His hand that struck us— it happened to us by chance.”
