Job 22:7-17

New International Version NIV

7 You gave no water to the weary and you withheld food from the hungry,

8 though you were a powerful man, owning land— an honored man, living on it.

9 And you sent widows away empty-handed and broke the strength of the fatherless.

10 That is why snares are all around you, why sudden peril terrifies you,

11 why it is so dark you cannot see, and why a flood of water covers you.

12 “Is not God in the heights of heaven? And see how lofty are the highest stars!

13 Yet you say, ‘What does God know? Does he judge through such darkness?

14 Thick clouds veil him, so he does not see us as he goes about in the vaulted heavens.’

15 Will you keep to the old path that the wicked have trod?

16 They were carried off before their time, their foundations washed away by a flood.

17 They said to God, ‘Leave us alone! What can the Almighty do to us?’
