Job 5:9-16

9He does great and unsearchable things, wonders without number.

10He gives rain to the earth and sends water to the fields.

11He sets the lowly on high, and mourners are lifted to safety.

12He frustrates the schemes of the crafty so that they achieve no success.

13He traps the wise in their craftiness so that the plans of the deceptive are quickly brought to an end.

14They encounter darkness by day, and they grope at noon as if it were night.

15He saves the needy from their sharp words and from the clutches of the powerful.

16So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth.
