“He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.”
Eliphaz asserts that God frustrates the devices of the crafty so that their hands cannot accomplish what they have planned, suggesting that divine power undoes the schemes of the wicked and makes their plotting futile. The image of failed schemes represents the way divine justice prevents evil plans from reaching fruition. Eliphaz implies that if Job has been engaged in any kind of deviousness, God will thwart such plans.
