6 For hardship does not spring from the soil,

nor does trouble sprout from the ground.

6 Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust,

Neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;

6 But evil does not spring from the soil,

and trouble does not sprout from the earth.

6 For affliction does not come from the dust,

Nor does trouble spring from the ground;

6 Hard times do not come up from the ground,

and trouble does not grow from the earth.

6 For affliction cometh not forth from the dust,

Neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;

6 For evil cometh not forth from the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;

6 Certainly, sorrow doesn’t come from the soil, 

and trouble doesn’t sprout from the ground. 

6 For distress does not grow out of the soil,

and trouble does not sprout from the ground.

6 For misery does not come from the earth,

nor does trouble sprout from the ground;

6 Indeed, mischief does not come from the dust,

and trouble does not sprout from the earth.

6 Hard times don’t just grow out of the soil.

Trouble doesn’t jump out of the ground.

6 “For affliction does not come from the dust,

Nor does trouble sprout from the ground,
