# General Information:
|
|

These verses continue the earlier use of parallelism, here emphasizing in different ways the idea that the children of foolish people are never safe. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]])
|
|
|
|
# His children are far from safety
|
|
|
|
"His" refers to the foolish person or the foolish people in [Job 5:02](./01.md). AT: "Their children are never safe"
|
|
|
|
# are crushed
|
|
|
|
Here being crushed represents being oppressed, taken advantage of, at court. This idea may be put into active form. AT: "someone crushes them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])

|
|
"There is no one to help the foolish people's children out of their hardship"

# they even take it from among the thorns

# The thirsty pant for their wealth
|
|
|
|
Here greedy people are spoken of as if they were thirsty, and the wealth of the foolish person is spoken of as if it were something that they could drink. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])
