Bible in Basic English
"Who makes the designs of the wise go wrong, so that they are unable to give effect to their purposes."
— Job 5:12, Bible in Basic English
“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 disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.”
Who does great things outside our knowledge, wonders without number:
Who gives rain on the earth, and sends water on the fields:
Lifting up those who are low, and putting the sad in a safe place;
Who makes the designs of the wise go wrong, so that they are unable to give effect to their purposes.
He takes the wise in their secret designs, and the purposes of the twisted are cut off suddenly.
In the daytime it becomes dark for them, and in the sunlight they go feeling about as if it was night.
But he keeps safe from their sword those who have no father, and the poor from the power of the strong.
