Job 5:8-16

New King James Version

⁸ “But as for me, I would seek God,
And to God I would commit my cause—
⁹ Who does great things, and unsearchable,
Marvelous things without number.
^10 (A)He gives rain on the earth,
And sends waters on the fields.
^11 (B)He sets on high those who are lowly,
And those who mourn are lifted to safety.
^12 (C)He frustrates the devices of the crafty,
So that their hands cannot carry out their plans.
¹³ He catches the ^(D)wise in their own craftiness,
And the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them.
¹⁴ They meet with darkness in the daytime,
And grope at noontime as in the night.
¹⁵ But ^(E)He saves the needy from the sword,
From the mouth of the mighty,
And from their hand.
^16 (F)So the poor have hope,
And injustice shuts her mouth.
