Job 5:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 5:13

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.

16 ^aSo the poor have hope,
And injustice shuts her mouth.

17 “Behold,^a happy is the man whom God corrects;
Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
