Job 22:12-20

View Full Chapter

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

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

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

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

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

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

18Yet it was he who filled their houses with good things, so I stand aloof from the plans of the wicked.

19The righteous see their ruin and rejoice; the innocent mock them, saying,

20‘Surely our foes are destroyed, and fire devours their wealth.’
