Job 5:9-16
9
He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed,
miracles that cannot be counted.
10
He bestows rain on the earth;
he sends water upon the countryside.
11
The lowly he sets on high,
and those who mourn are lifted to safety.
12
He thwarts the plans of the crafty,
so that their hands achieve no success.
13
He catches the wise in their craftiness,
and the schemes of the wily are swept away.
14
Darkness comes upon them in the daytime;
at noon they grope as in the night.
15
He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth;
he saves them from the clutches of the powerful.
16
So the poor have hope,
and injustice shuts its mouth.
