Job 22:17

Job 22:17

Compare all

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.

19 “The^a righteous see it and are glad,
And the innocent laugh at them:
