Job 5:8-13

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ “As for me, I would seek God,
    and to God would I commit my cause;
⁹ who does great things and unsearchable,
    marvelous things without number:
¹⁰ he gives rain upon the earth
    and sends waters upon the fields;
¹¹ he sets on high those who are lowly,
    and those who mourn are lifted to safety.
¹² He frustrates the devices of the crafty,
    so that their hands achieve no success.
¹³ He takes the wise in their own craftiness;
    and the schemes of the wily are brought to a quick end.
