Job 5:8-16
World English Bible
8 “But as for me, I would seek God.
I would commit my cause to God,
9 who does great things that can’t be fathomed,
marvelous things without number;
10 who gives rain on the earth,
and sends waters on the fields;
11 so that he sets up on high those who are low,
those who mourn are exalted to safety.
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.
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.
