Job 5:14 in context

  1. 12He frustrates the plans of the crafty,
    So that their hands can’t perform their enterprise.
  2. 13He takes the wise in their own craftiness;
    the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.
  3. 14They meet with darkness in the day time,
    and grope at noonday as in the night.
  4. 15But he saves from the sword of their mouth,
    even the needy from the hand of the mighty.
  5. 16So the poor has hope,
    and injustice shuts her mouth.
