New American Standard Bible 1995

Job 5:12-16

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