Job 5:9-16

Who does great and unsearchable things, Marvelous things without number. “He gives rain upon the earth And sends waters upon the fields, So that He sets on high those who are lowly, And He lifts to safety those who mourn. “He frustrates the devices and schemes of the crafty, So that their hands cannot attain success or achieve anything of [lasting] worth. “He catches the [so-called] wise in their own shrewdness, And the advice of the devious is quickly thwarted. [1 Cor 3:19, 20] “In the daytime they meet in darkness, And at noon they grope as in the night. “But God saves [the innocent] from the sword of the mouth of the devious, And the poor from the hand of the mighty. “So the helpless have hope, And injustice shuts its mouth.
