Job 5:14

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.

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.
