Job 5:6-16

New International Version

⁸ “But if I were you, I would appeal to God;
    I would lay my cause before him.^(C)
9 He performs wonders^(D) that cannot be fathomed,^(E)
    miracles that cannot be counted.^(F)
10 He provides rain for the earth;^(G)
    he sends water on the countryside.^(H)
11 The lowly he sets on high,^(I)
    and those who mourn^(J) are lifted^(K) to safety.
¹² He thwarts the plans^(L) of the crafty,
    so that their hands achieve no success.^(M)
13 He catches the wise^(N) in their craftiness,^(O)
    and the schemes of the wily are swept away.^(P)
14 Darkness^(Q) comes upon them in the daytime;
    at noon they grope as in the night.^(R)
15 He saves the needy^(S) from the sword in their mouth;
    he saves them from the clutches of the powerful.^(T)
16 So the poor^(U) have hope,
    and injustice shuts its mouth.^(V)
