6. Although affliction cometh not forth from the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
7. Yet man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
8. I would seek to God, and to God would I commit my cause:
9. Who doeth great things and unsearchable; wonderful things without number:
10. Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
11. To set on high those that are low: that those who 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 day-time, and grope in the noon-day as in the night.
15. But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
