Job 5:8-18
English Standard Version
Job 5:8-18
English Standard Version
8 “As for me, I would seek God,
and to God would I commit my cause,
9 who (A)does great things and (B)unsearchable,
(C)marvelous things without number:
10 he gives (D)rain on the earth
and sends waters on the fields;
11 he (E)sets on high those who are lowly,
and those who mourn are lifted to safety.
12 He (F)frustrates the devices of the crafty,
so that their hands achieve no success.
13 He (G)catches the wise in their own craftiness,
and the schemes of the wily are brought to a quick end.
14 They meet with darkness in the daytime
and (H)grope at noonday as in the night.
15 But he (I)saves the needy from the sword of their mouth
and from the hand of the mighty.
16 So the poor have hope,
and (J)injustice shuts her mouth.
17 “Behold, (K)blessed is the one whom God reproves;
therefore (L)despise not the discipline of the (M)Almighty.
18 For he wounds, but he (N)binds up;
he (O)shatters, but his hands heal.

miracles that cannot be counted.(D)
10 He provides rain for the earth;(E)
he sends water on the countryside.(F)

and the schemes of the wily are swept away.(N)
14 Darkness(O) comes upon them in the daytime;
at noon they grope as in the night.(P)
15 He saves the needy(Q) from the sword in their mouth;
he saves them from the clutches of the powerful.(R)
16 So the poor(S) have hope,
and injustice shuts its mouth.(T)
