He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 5 of Job. Eliphaz presents God as the one who does great things, humbles the proud, lifts up the humble, and frustrates the plans of the crafty. This vision strongly emphasizes divine providence and justice. Yet the speech still does not explain why a person who appears blameless could experience such extreme ruin.

Er macht zunichte die Anschläge der Listigen, daß es ihre Hand nicht ausführen kann;
Que frustra los pensamientos de los astutos, Para que sus manos no hagan nada:
Frustra los planes de los astutos, de modo que sus manos no alcanzan el éxito.
Il anéantit les projets des hommes rusés, Et leurs mains ne peuvent les accomplir;
Che disperde i pensieri degli astuti, E fa che le lor mani non possono far nulla di bene ordinato.
Ele aniquila as imaginações dos astutos, para que as suas mãos não possam levar coisa alguma a efeito.
他破壞通達人的計謀, 使他們手所做的不得成就。
