Job 22:5
Compare all
3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous?
Or is it gain to Him that you make your ways blameless?
4 “Is it because of your fear of Him that He corrects you,
And enters into judgment with you?
5 Is not your wickedness great,
And your iniquity without end?
6 For you have ataken pledges from your brother for no reason,
And stripped the naked of their clothing. 
7 You have not given the weary water to drink,
And you ahave withheld bread from the hungry. 
8 But the1 mighty man possessed the land,
And the honorable man dwelt in it. 
9 You have sent widows away empty,
And the1 strength of the fatherless was crushed. 
10 Therefore snares are all around you,
And sudden fear troubles you,
11 Or darkness so that you cannot see;
And an abundance of awater covers you. 
12 “Is not God in the height of heaven?
And see the highest stars, how lofty they are!
13 And you say, a‘What does God know?
Can He judge through the deep darkness? 
14 aThick clouds cover Him, so that He cannot see,
And He walks above the circle of heaven.’ 
15 Will you keep to the old way
Which wicked men have trod,
16 Who awere cut down before their time,
Whose foundations were swept away by a flood? 
17 aThey said to God, ‘Depart from us!
What can the Almighty do to1 them?’ 
18 Yet He filled their houses with good things;
But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
