Job 5:13-17 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

13. "He captures the wise by their own shrewdness, And the advice of the cunning is quickly thwarted.

14. "By day they meet with darkness, And grope at noon as in the night.

15. "But He saves from the sword of their mouth, And the poor from the hand of the mighty.

16. "So the helpless has hope, And unrighteousness must shut its mouth.

17. "Behold, how happy is the man whom God reproves, So do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.
