6 Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; |
7 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. |
8 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause: |
9 Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number: |
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. |
