Read in context

Job 5:12–16 · Berean Standard Bible

12 He thwarts the schemes of the crafty, so that their hands find no success.

13 He catches the wise in their craftiness, and sweeps away the plans of the cunning.

14 They encounter darkness by day and grope at noon as in the night.

15 He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth and from the clutches of the powerful.

16 So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth.
