Holy Scripture
Job 5:13
A church father on this verse
“What do these words mean? Eliphaz insults Job, who should be a crafty man. He has a desire for justice, without doing anything for which he boasts with real justice. However, God does not stand still without penetrating such schemes, and "the schemes of the wily are brought to a quick end."”

11Who exalts the lowly, And raises up them that are lost:
12Frustrating the counsels of the crafty, And their hands shall not perform the truth:
— Job 5:13 —
14In the day darkness shall come upon them, And let them grope in the noonday even as in the night:
15And let them perish in war, And let the weak escape from the hand of the mighty.
