Bible verse
They encounter darkness by day and grope at noon as in the night.
Job 5:14 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 5.
10 He gives rain to the earth and sends water upon the fields.
11 He sets the lowly on high, so that mourners are lifted to safety.
12 He thwarts the schemes of the crafty, so that their hands find no success.
13 He catches the wise in their craftiness, and sweeps away the plans of the cunning.
14 They encounter darkness by day and grope at noon as in the night.
15 He saves the needy from the sword in their mouth and from the clutches of the powerful.
16 So the poor have hope, and injustice shuts its mouth.
17 Blessed indeed is the man whom God corrects; so do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.
18 For He wounds, but He also binds; He strikes, but His hands also heal.
