Job 5:8–18

8  I would seek unto God,

And unto God would I commit my cause:

9  jWhich doeth great things †and unsearchable;

Marvellous things †without number:

10  kWho giveth rain upon the earth,

And sendeth waters upon the †fields:

11  lTo set up on high those that be low;

That those which mmourn may be exalted to safety.

12  He ndisappointeth the devices of the crafty,

So that their hands ||cannot perform their enterprise.

13  oHe taketh the wise in their own craftiness:

And the counsel of the pfroward is carried headlong.

14  They ||meet with darkness in the daytime,

And qgrope in the noonday as in the night.

15  But rhe saveth the poor from the sword,

From their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.

16  So the poor hath hope,

And siniquity stoppeth her mouth.

17  Behold, thappy is the man whom God correcteth:

Therefore udespise not thou the chastening of xthe Almighty:

18  For he maketh sore, and bindeth up:

yHe woundeth, and his hands make whole.
