New American Standard Bible 1995

Job 5:11-16

11So that 1He sets on high those who are lowly, And those who mourn are lifted to safety.12He 2frustrates the plotting of the shrewd, So that their hands cannot attain success.13He 3captures the wise by their own shrewdness, And the advice of the cunning is quickly thwarted.14By day they 4meet with darkness, And grope at noon as in the night.15But He saves from 5the sword of their mouth, And 6the poor from the hand of the mighty.16So the helpless has hope, And 7unrighteousness must shut its mouth.
