| 5:12 qui dissipat cogitationes malignorum ne possint implere manus eorum quod coeperant | 12 Who bringeth to nought the designs of the malignant, so that their hands cannot accomplish what they had begun: |
| 5:13 qui adprehendit sapientes in astutia eorum et consilium pravorum dissipat | 13 Who catcheth the wise in their craftiness, and disappointeth the counsel of the wicked: |
| 5:14 per diem incurrent tenebras et quasi in nocte sic palpabunt in meridie | 14 They shall meet with darkness in the day, and grope at noonday as in the night. |
