Job 5:8-16

8“But as for me, I would seek God, And to God I would commit my cause—

9Who does great things, and unsearchable, Marvelous things without number.

10He gives rain on the earth, And sends waters on the fields.

11He sets on high those who are lowly, And those who mourn are lifted to safety.

12He frustrates the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot carry out their plans.

13He catches the wise in their own craftiness, And the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them.

14They meet with darkness in the daytime, And grope at noontime as in the night.

15But He saves the needy from the sword, From the mouth of the mighty, And from their hand.

16So the poor have hope, And injustice shuts her mouth.
