2-17-08 Job 5:12, 13 The Lord Frustrates Your Enemies

Job 5:12,13 (NAS)
He frustrates the plotting of the shrewd, So that their hands cannot attain success.He captures the wise by their own shrewdness And the advice of the cunning is quickly thwarted

Job 5:12,13 (NLT)
He frustrates the plans of the crafty, so their efforts will not succeed. He catches those who think they are wise in their own cleverness, so that their cunning schemes are thwarted.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Who is the One who can break the power of the enemy in your life? The only One who can do this is Adonai, the Lord God Almighty! He is able to frustrate and make ineffectual any thoughts, plans, devices, and purposes that Satan sends against you. No one can imagine or invent anything that will keep you defeated. There are none who are so subtle, shrewd, crafty, or sly that can take the Lord by surprise. Their hands cannot do anything against you that will have abiding success, for they do not use sound wisdom in their plans.

Jehovah seizes and captures your enemies. Those wise in the ways of the world will be caught; they will trapped and ensnared in their own craftiness. They are deceived by their own counsel and advice, for it is twisted. When they conspire against you, the Lord your God causes them to be anxious and make haste in their preparations. Then their purposes will quickly fall apart.
