8 Job, if I were you,I would ask God for help.
9 His miracles are marvelous,more than we can count.
10 God sends showers on earthand waters the fields.
11 He protects the sorrowfuland lifts up thosewho have been disgraced.*
12 God swiftly traps the wicked
13 in their own evil schemes,and their wisdom fails.
14 Darkness is their only companion,hiding their path at noon.
