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.
So the poor hath hope, And iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.
For he maketh sore, and bindeth up; He woundeth, and his hands make whole.
He will deliver thee in six troubles; Yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
