捨すてる神かみあれば拾ひろう神かみあり

expression

when one door shuts, another opens; there are gods that abandon you and gods that pick you up

Proverb meaning that even if someone or something lets you down, another will come to your aid; the world has both cruelty and kindness.

• 就しゅう職しょくに失しっ敗ぱいしても、捨すてる神かみあれば拾ひろう神かみありで、別べつの会かい社しゃが拾ひろってくれた。

  Even though I failed to get a job, as they say, when one door shuts another opens, and another company took me in.

• あの人ひとは冷つめたかったけど、捨すてる神かみあれば拾ひろう神かみあり、親しん切せつな人ひとが助たすけてくれた。

  That person was cold, but there are gods that abandon you and gods that pick you up—a kind person helped me.
