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

¹² He frustrates the devices of the crafty, So that their hands can't perform their enterprise.

¹⁴ They meet with darkness in the day-time, And grope at noonday as in the night.

³⁰ There is no wisdom nor understanding Nor counsel against Yahweh.
