Job 5:8-20
8But as for me, I would seekH1875 unto GodH430,And unto GodH430 would I commit my causeH1700;9Who doeth greatH1419 thingsH1419 and unsearchable,Marvellous thingsH1419 without numberH4557:10Who giveth rainH4306 upon the earthH776,And sendeth watersH4325 upon the fields;11So that he setteth up on highH4791 those that are lowH8217,And those that mournH6937 are exaltedH7682 to safetyH3468.12He frustrateth the devices of the craftyH6175,So that their handsH3027 cannot perform their enterprise.13He taketh the wiseH2450 in their own craftiness;And the counselH6098 of the cunning is carried headlong.14They meetH6298 with darknessH2822 in the day-time,And gropeH4959 at noonday as in the nightH3915.15But he saveth from the swordH2719 of their mouthH6310,Even the needyH34 from the handH3027 of the mightyH2389.16So the poorH1800 hath hopeH8615,And iniquity stoppeth her mouthH6310.17Behold, happy is the man whom GodH433 correcteth:Therefore despise not thou the chasteningH4148 of the AlmightyH7706.18For he maketh sore, and bindeth up;He woundeth, and his handsH3027 make whole.19He will deliverH5337 thee in sixH8337 troubles;Yea, in sevenH7651 there shall no evilH7451 touchH5060 thee.20In famineH7458 he will redeemH6299 thee from deathH4194;And in warH4421 from the power of the swordH2719.
