Job 5:14

World English Bible (WEB)

They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope at noonday as in the night.

In context

12 He frustrates the plans of the crafty, so that their hands can’t perform their enterprise.

13 He takes the wise in their own craftiness; the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.

14 They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope at noonday as in the night.

15 But he saves from the sword of their mouth, even the needy from the hand of the mighty.

16 So the poor has hope, and injustice shuts her mouth.
