King James Version (KJV)

Job 5:15

“But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.”

Verse in context — Job 5

He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.

They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.

But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.

So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.

Behold, happy [is] the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
