Job 5:16 — Meaning and Application

They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night. {meet...: or, run into}

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:

For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
