Job 22:5-16

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Job 22:5-16

5Is not your wickedness great?
Are not your iniquities endless?
6For you needlessly demanded security from your brothers
and deprived the naked of their clothing.
7You gave no water to the weary
and withheld food from the famished,
8while the land belonged to a mighty man,
and a man of honor lived on it.
9You sent widows away empty-handed,
and the strength of the fatherless was crushed.
10Therefore snares surround you,
and sudden peril terrifies you;
11it is so dark you cannot see,
and a flood of water covers you.
12Is not God as high as the heavens?
Look at the highest stars, how lofty they are!
13Yet you say: ‘What does God know?
Does He judge through thick darkness?
14Thick clouds veil Him so He does not see us
as He traverses the vault of heaven.’
15Will you stay on the ancient path
that wicked men have trod?
16They were snatched away before their time,
and their foundations were swept away by a flood.
