Job 5:8 - 5:16


8
“But as for me, I would seek God,
And I would set my cause before God,
9
Who does great and unsearchable things,
Wonders without number.
10
He gives rain on the earth
And sends water on the fields outside,
11
So that He sets on high those who are lowly,
And those who mourn are lifted to salvation.
12
He frustrates the thoughts of the crafty,
So that their hands cannot attain success of sound wisdom.
13
He catches the wise by their own craftiness,
And the counsel of the twisted is quickly thwarted.
14
By day they meet with darkness
And grope at noon as in the night.
15
But He saves from the sword of their mouth,
And the needy from the hand of the strong.
16
So the poor has hope,
And unrighteousness must shut its mouth.
