job 5:13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong. - Free Bible Online

job 5:13 "He captures the wise by their own shrewdness And the advice of the cunning is quickly thwarted.


      13. Paul (1Co 3:19) quoted this clause with the formula establishing its inspiration, "it is written." He cites the exact Hebrew words, not as he usually does the Septuagint, Greek version (Ps 9:15). Haman was hanged on the gallows he prepared for Mordecai (Es 5:14; 7:10).
      the wise--that is, "the cunning."
      is carried headlong--Their scheme is precipitated before it is ripe.

JFB.
