Job 22:9 In-Context

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.
