Job 5:13
“He takes the wise in their own craftiness; the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.”
What does Job 5:13 mean?
God sees through clever schemes that people think will outsmart him or others. When someone relies on their intelligence to manipulate, deceive, or gain unfair advantage, they're actually walking into a trap of their own making, because God knows the hearts behind those plans. This verse reassures us that no amount of cunning can ultimately succeed against God's wisdom, and it warns against thinking we can outwit him or hide our true motives from him.
