Job 5:13

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.

With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.

But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king’s wrath pacified.

For the froward is abomination to the LORD: but his secret is with the righteous.

And one told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O LORD, I pray thee, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.

And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his ass, and arose, and gat him home to his house, to his city, and put his household in order, and hanged himself, and died, and was buried in the sepulchre of his father.

But if thou return to the city, and say unto Absalom, I will be thy servant, O king; as I have been thy father’s servant hitherto, so will I now also be thy servant: then mayest thou for me defeat the counsel of Ahithophel.
