He frustrates the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their plans.

Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?

If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.

Behold, he breaks down, and it cannot be built again: he shuts up a man, and there can be no opening.

Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with you, you have appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;

But as for you all, do you return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.

He has fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he has set darkness in my paths.

They that dwell in my house, and my maidservants, count me as a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.

Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:

On the left hand, where he does work, but I cannot behold him: he hides himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:

It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.

It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.

From want and famine they are gaunt; fleeing of late into the wilderness, desolate and waste.

Does not he see my ways, and count all my steps?

If the men of my tent have not, Oh that we had of his meat! we cannot be satisfied.

Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech because of darkness.

As for the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in abundant justice: he will not afflict.

They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be parted.

The folds of his flesh are joined together: they are firm on him; they cannot be moved.

The sword of him that reaches him cannot avail: neither the spear, the dart, nor the javelin.

The arrow cannot make him flee: clingstones with him are turned into stubble.
