King James Version with Apocrypha
"He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong."
— Job 5:13, King James Version with Apocrypha
“He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.”
“He taketh the wise in their own craftiness; And the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong. ”
“He takes the wise in their own craftiness; the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.”
“He catches the wise in their own craftiness, and the counsel of the cunning is brought to a quick end.”
“Who catcheth the wise in their craftiness, and disappointeth the counsel of the wicked:”
“He takes the wise in their secret designs, and the purposes of the twisted are cut off suddenly.”
Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
He disappointeth 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 froward is carried headlong.
They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
