⁹ But Uriah slept at the door of the king's house with all the servants of his lord, and went not down to his house.

¹² He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.

¹³ He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.

¹⁴ They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in the night.

³⁰ There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD.
