Job 5:16

16 Thus the poor have hope,
and iniquity ^{▼▼ Other translations render this “injustice” (NIV, NRSV, CEV) or “unrighteousness” (NASB).} shuts its mouth. ^{▼▼ The verse summarizes the result of God’s intervention in human affairs, according to Eliphaz’ idea that even-handed justice prevails. Ps 107:42 parallels v. 16b.}
