6. For evil does not come from the dust, nor does trouble sprout from the ground.
7. Yet man is born for trouble, as surely as sparks fly upward.

9. Who does great things beyond comprehension, wonders without number.
10. Who gives rain to the earth and sends water over the plains.
11. Who places the lowly on high and lifts mourners to salvation.
12. Who frustrates the plans of the crafty, so that their hands attain no success.
13. Who catches the clever in their craftiness, and thwarts the plan of the cunning.
14. By day they encounter darkness and grope at noon as if it were night.
