Job 5:13 - John Wesley's Notes

Job 5:13

Compare all

11 ^aHe sets on high those who are lowly,
And those who mourn are lifted to safety.

12 ^aHe frustrates the devices of the crafty,
So that their hands cannot carry out their plans.

13 He catches the ^awise in their own craftiness,
And the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them.

14 They meet with darkness in the daytime,
And grope at noontime as in the night.

15 But ^aHe saves the needy from the sword,
From the mouth of the mighty,
And from their hand.

Job 5:13

The wise - Men wise to do evil, and wise in the opinion of the world, he not only deceives in their hopes and counsels, but turns them against themselves. Froward - Or, wrestlers: such as wind and turn every way, as wrestlers do, and will leave no means untried to accomplish their counsels. Is carried - Is tumbled down and broken, and that by their own precipitation.
