13. He catches the wise in their craftiness,and the schemes of the wily are swept away.
14. Darkness comes upon them in the daytime;at noon they grope as in the night.
15. He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth;he saves them from the clutches of the powerful.
16. So the poor have hope,and injustice shuts its mouth.
17. ‘Blessed is the one whom God corrects;so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.
18. For he wounds, but he also binds up;he injures, but his hands also heal.
