Job 5:13 Context
11To set vp on high those that be low; that those which mourne, may be exalted to safetie. 12Hee disappointeth the deuices of the craftie, so that their hands cannot performe their enterprise. 13He taketh the wise in their owne craftinesse: and the counsell of the froward is caried headlong. 14They meete with darkenesse in the day time, and grope in the noone day as in the night. 15But he saueth the poore from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mightie.
