Job 5:10-18
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
10
He gives rain on the earth,
And sends water on the fields,
11
So that He sets on high those who are lowly,
And those who mourn are lifted to safety.
12
He frustrates the schemes of the shrewd,
So that their hands cannot attain success.
13
He captures the wise by their own cleverness,
And the advice of the cunning is quickly thwarted.
14
By day they meet with darkness,
And grope at noon as in the night.
15
But He saves from the sword of their mouth,
And the poor from the hand of the strong.
16
So the helpless has hope,
And injustice has shut its mouth.
17
'Behold, happy is the person whom God disciplines,
So do not reject the discipline of the Almighty.
18
For He inflicts pain, and gives relief;
He wounds, but His hands
also
heal.
King James Version
Chapter 5
10
Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
11
To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
12
He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
13
He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
14
They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
15
But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
16
So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
17
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
18
For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 5
10
He gives rain to the earth
and sends water to the fields.
11
He sets the lowly on high,
and mourners are lifted to safety.
12
He frustrates the schemes of the crafty
so that they achieve no success.
13
He traps the wise in their craftiness
so that the plans of the deceptive
are quickly brought to an end.
14
They encounter darkness by day,
and they grope at noon
as if it were night.
15
He saves the needy from their sharp words
and from the clutches of the powerful.
16
So the poor have hope,
and injustice shuts its mouth.
17
See how happy is the person whom God corrects;
so do not reject the discipline of the Almighty.
18
For he wounds but he also bandages;
he strikes, but his hands also heal.
New Living Translation
Chapter 5
10
He gives rain for the earth
and water for the fields.
11
He gives prosperity to the poor
and protects those who suffer.
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.
English Standard Version

and sends waters on the fields;
11

and those who mourn are lifted to safety.
12
He frustrates the devices of the crafty,
so that their hands achieve no success.
13
He catches the wise in their own craftiness,
and the schemes of the wily are brought to a quick end.
14
They meet with darkness in the daytime
and grope at noonday as in the night.
15
But he saves the needy from the sword of their mouth
and from the hand of the mighty.
16
So the poor have hope,
and injustice shuts her mouth.
17
"Behold, blessed is the one whom God reproves;
therefore despise not the discipline of the Almighty.
18
For he wounds, but he binds up;
he shatters, but his hands heal.
New International Version
Chapter 5
10
He provides rain for the earth;
he sends water on the countryside.
11
The lowly he sets on high,
and those who mourn are lifted to safety.
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.

And those who mourn are lifted to safety.

And the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them.
14
They meet with darkness in the daytime,
And grope at noontime as in the night.
15
But He saves the needy from the sword,
From the mouth of the mighty,
And from their hand.
16
So the poor have hope,
And injustice shuts her mouth.
17
“Behold, happy
is
the man whom God corrects;
Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
18
For He bruises, but He binds up;
He wounds, but His hands make whole.
