Job 5:8-20

8I would seekH1875H199 unto GodH410, and unto GodH430 would I commitH7760 my causeH1700:

9Which doethH6213 great thingsH1419 and unsearchableH2714H369; marvellous thingsH6381 without numberH4557:12

10Who givethH5414 rainH4306 uponH6440 the earthH776, and sendethH7971 watersH4325 uponH6440 the fieldsH2351:3

11To set upH7760 on highH4791 those that be lowH8217; that those which mournH6937 may be exaltedH7682 to safetyH3468.

12He disappointethH6565 the devicesH4284 of the craftyH6175, so that their handsH3027 cannot performH6213 their enterpriseH8454.4

13He takethH3920 the wiseH2450 in their own craftinessH6193: and the counselH6098 of the perverseH6617 is carried headlongH4116.

14They meetH6298 with darknessH2822 in the daytimeH3119, and gropeH4959 in the noondayH6672 as in the nightH3915.5

15But he savethH3467 the poorH34 from the swordH2719, from their mouthH6310, and from the handH3027 of the mightyH2389.

16So the poorH1800 hath hopeH8615, and iniquityH5766 stoppethH7092 her mouthH6310.

17Behold, happyH835 is the manH582 whom GodH433 correctethH3198: therefore despiseH3988 not thou the chasteningH4148 of the AlmightyH7706:

18For he maketh soreH3510, and bindeth upH2280: he woundethH4272, and his handsH3027 make wholeH7495.

19He shall deliverH5337 thee in sixH8337 troublesH6869: yea, in sevenH7651 there shall no evilH7451 touchH5060 thee.

20In famineH7458 he shall redeemH6299 thee from deathH4194: and in warH4421 from the powerH3027 of the swordH2719.6
