New Testament

Job 5:7-13 American Standard Version (ASV)

7. But man is born unto trouble, As the sparks fly upward.

8. But as for me, I would seek unto God, And unto God would I commit my cause;

9. Who doeth great things and unsearchable, Marvellous things without number:

10. Who giveth rain upon the earth, And sendeth waters upon the fields;

11. So that he setteth up on high those that are low, And those that mourn are exalted to safety.

12. He frustrateth 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 cunning is carried headlong.
