Job 5:12–14

He frustrates the devices of the crafty,

so that their hands achieve no success.

He catches the wise in their own craftiness,

and the schemes of the wily are brought to a quick end.

They meet with darkness in the daytime

and grope at noonday as in the night.

He thwarts the plans of the crafty,

so that their hands achieve no success.

He catches the wise in their craftiness,

and the schemes of the wily are swept away.

Darkness comes upon them in the daytime;

at noon they grope as in the night.

He frustrates the schemes of the crafty

so that they achieve no success.

He traps the wise in their craftiness

so that the plans of the deceptive

are quickly brought to an end.

They encounter darkness by day,

and they grope at noon

as if it were night.

He is frustrating the devices of the crafty,

and their hands do not achieve success.

He is capturing the wise in their craftiness,

and the schemes of the wily are rushed.

In the daytime they meet with darkness,

and they grope at noon as in the night.

He disappointeth the devices of the crafty,

So that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.

He taketh the wise in their own craftiness:

And the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.

They meet with darkness in the daytime,

And grope in the noonday as in the night.
