Job 5:15

Read in context

Job 5:13–17 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

17 Blessed indeed is the man whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.
