Job 5:12-14

New International Reader's Version

¹² He stops the evil plans of those who are clever.
    The work of their hands doesn’t succeed.
¹³ Some people think they are so wise.
    But God catches them in their own tricks.
    He sweeps away the evil plans of sinful people.
¹⁴ Darkness covers them in the daytime.
    At noon they feel their way around as if it were night.
