The Book of Job

Chapter 5 verses 10-16

10 He giveth rain upon the earth, and poureth

water upon the streets,

11 And setteth up on high them that be low, that

the sorrowful may be exalted to salvation.

12 He scattereth the devices of the crafty: so that

their hands cannot accomplish that which they do

enterprise.

13 He taketh the wise in their craftiness, and the

counsel of the wicked is made foolish.

14 They meet with darkness in the daytime, and

grope at noonday, as in the night.

15 But he saveth the poor from the sword, from

their mouth, and from the hand of the violent

man,

16 So that the poor hath his hope, but iniquity

shall stop her mouth.
