Job 5:12-22

New Living Translation NLT

12 He frustrates the plans of schemers so the work of their hands will not succeed.

13 He traps the wise in their own cleverness so their cunning schemes are thwarted.

14 They find it is dark in the daytime, and they grope at noon as if it were night.

15 He rescues the poor from the cutting words of the strong, and rescues them from the clutches of the powerful.

16 And so at last the poor have hope, and the snapping jaws of the wicked are shut.

17 “But consider the joy of those corrected by God! Do not despise the discipline of the Almighty when you sin.

18 For though he wounds, he also bandages. He strikes, but his hands also heal.

19 From six disasters he will rescue you; even in the seventh, he will keep you from evil.

20 He will save you from death in time of famine, from the power of the sword in time of war.

21 You will be safe from slander and have no fear when destruction comes.

22 You will laugh at destruction and famine; wild animals will not terrify you.

New International Version NIV

12 He thwarts the plans of the crafty, so that their hands achieve no success.

13 He catches the wise in their craftiness, and the schemes of the wily are swept away.

14 Darkness comes upon them in the daytime; at noon they grope as in the night.

15 He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth; he saves them from the clutches of the powerful.

16 So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth.

17 “Blessed is the one whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.

18 For he wounds, but he also binds up; he injures, but his hands also heal.

19 From six calamities he will rescue you; in seven no harm will touch you.

20 In famine he will deliver you from death, and in battle from the stroke of the sword.

21 You will be protected from the lash of the tongue, and need not fear when destruction comes.

22 You will laugh at destruction and famine, and need not fear the wild animals.
