Job 5:14-16

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁴ Daylight will be like darkness for them.
    Even at noon they will have to feel their way as in the dark.
¹⁵ God saves the poor from the hurtful words of the wicked.
    He saves them from those who are powerful.
¹⁶ So the poor have hope;
    God shuts the mouths of those who would cause them harm.
