| 5:12 | He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise. | Making void thoughts of the subtile, And their hands do not execute wisdom. |
| 5:13 | He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong. | Capturing the wise in their subtilty, And the counsel of wrestling ones was hastened, |

By day they meet darkness, And as night -- they grope at noon. |
