"He frustrateth the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. "
— Job 5:12, American Standard Version
“He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.”
“He frustrates the devices of the crafty, So that their hands can't perform their enterprise.”
“He frustrates the plans of the crafty so that their hands cannot accomplish what they had planned!”
“Who bringeth to nought the designs of the malignant, so that their hands cannot accomplish what they had begun:”
“Who makes the designs of the wise go wrong, so that they are unable to give effect to their purposes.”
“He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.”
Who doeth great things and unsearchable, Marvellous things without number:
Who giveth rain upon the earth, And sendeth waters upon the fields;
So that he setteth up on high those that are low, And those that mourn are exalted to safety.
He frustrateth the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
He taketh the wise in their own craftiness; And the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.
They meet with darkness in the day-time, And grope at noonday as in the night.
But he saveth from the sword of their mouth, Even the needy from the hand of the mighty.
