To which of the holy ones will you turn?

2 Resentment kills a fool,

and envy slays the simple.

1 Call now, if there be any that will answer thee;

And to which of the saints wilt thou turn?

2 For wrath killeth the foolish man,

And envy slayeth the silly one.

1 “Cry for help, but will anyone answer you?

Which of the angels will help you?

2 Surely resentment destroys the fool,

and jealousy kills the simple.

1 “Call out now; Is there anyone who will answer you?

And to which of the holy ones will you turn?

2 For wrath kills a foolish man,

And envy slays a simple one.

1 “Call if you want to, Job, but no one will answer you.

You can’t turn to any of the holy ones.

2 Anger kills the fool,

and jealousy slays the stupid.

1 Call now; is there any that will answer thee?

And to which of the holy ones wilt thou turn?

2 For vexation killeth the foolish man,

And jealousy slayeth the silly one.
