Job 5:12-16

World English Bible

¹² He frustrates the plans of the crafty,
    So that their hands can’t perform their enterprise.
¹³ He takes the wise in their own craftiness;
    the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.
¹⁴ They meet with darkness in the day time,
    and grope at noonday as in the night.
¹⁵ But he saves from the sword of their mouth,
    even the needy from the hand of the mighty.
¹⁶ So the poor has hope,
    and injustice shuts her mouth.
