Job 5:11 · American Standard Version

Job 5:11 in context

  1. 9who does great things that can’t be fathomed,
    marvelous things without number;
  2. 10who gives rain on the earth,
    and sends waters on the fields;
  3. 11so that he sets up on high those who are low,
    those who mourn are exalted to safety.
  4. 12He frustrates the plans of the crafty,
    So that their hands can’t perform their enterprise.
  5. 13He takes the wise in their own craftiness;
    the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.
