Job 5:9
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—
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.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
