and the schemes of the wily are rushed.

14In the daytime they meet with darkness,

and they grope at noonk as in the night.

and they grope at noon

as if it were night.

He disappointeth the devices of the crafty,

So that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.

And grope in the noonday as in the night.
