Job 22:4-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 22
4
Is it because of your reverence that He punishes you,
That He enters into judgment against you?
5
Is your wickedness not abundant,
And is there no end to your guilty deeds?
6
For you have seized pledges from your brothers without cause,
And stripped people naked.
7
You have given the weary no water to drink,
And you have withheld bread from the hungry.
8
But the earth belongs to the powerful man,
And the one who is honorable dwells on it.
9
You have sent widows away empty,
And the strength of orphans has been crushed.
10
Therefore traps surround you,
And sudden dread terrifies you,
11
Or darkness,
so that
you cannot see,
And a flood of water covers you.
12
'Is God not
in
the height of heaven?
Look also at the highest stars, how high they are!
13
But you say, ‘What does God know?
Can He judge through the thick darkness?
14
Clouds are a hiding place for Him, so that He cannot see;
And He walks on the vault of heaven.’
15
Will you keep to the ancient path
Which wicked people have walked,
16
Who were snatched away before their time,
Whose foundations were washed away
by
a river?
King James Version
Chapter 22
4
Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?
5
Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?
6
For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
7
Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
8
But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.
9
Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
10
Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;
11
Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.
12
Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
13
And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
14
Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.
15
Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
16
Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 22
4
Does he correct you and take you to court
because of your piety?
5
Isn’t your wickedness abundant
and aren’t your iniquities endless?
6
For you took collateral from your brothers without cause,
stripping off their clothes and leaving them naked.
7
You gave no water to the thirsty
and withheld food from the famished,
8
while the land belonged to a powerful man
and an influential man lived on it.
9
You sent widows away empty-handed,
and the strength of the fatherless was crushed.
10
Therefore snares surround you,
and sudden dread terrifies you,
11
or darkness, so you cannot see,
and a flood of water covers you.
12
Isn’t God as high as the heavens?
And look at the highest stars—how lofty they are!
13
Yet you say, "What does God know?
Can he judge through total darkness?
14
Clouds veil him so that he cannot see,
as he walks on the circle of the sky."
15
Will you continue on the ancient path
that wicked men have walked?
16
They were snatched away before their time,
and their foundations were washed away by a river.
New Living Translation
Chapter 22
4
Is it because you’re so pious that he accuses you
and brings judgment against you?
5
No, it’s because of your wickedness!
There’s no limit to your sins.
6
'For example, you must have lent money to your friend
and demanded clothing as security.
Yes, you stripped him to the bone.
7
You must have refused water for the thirsty
and food for the hungry.
8
You probably think the land belongs to the powerful
and only the privileged have a right to it!
9
You must have sent widows away empty-handed
and crushed the hopes of orphans.
10
That is why you are surrounded by traps
and tremble from sudden fears.
11
That is why you cannot see in the darkness,
and waves of water cover you.
12
'God is so great — higher than the heavens,
higher than the farthest stars.
13
But you reply, ‘That’s why God can’t see what I am doing!
How can he judge through the thick darkness?
14
For thick clouds swirl about him, and he cannot see us.
He is way up there, walking on the vault of heaven.’
15
'Will you continue on the old paths
where evil people have walked?
16
They were snatched away in the prime of life,
the foundations of their lives washed away.
English Standard Version
Chapter 22
4
Is it for your fear of him that he reproves you
and enters into judgment with you?
5
Is not your evil abundant?
There is no end to your iniquities.
6
For you have exacted pledges of your brothers for nothing
and stripped the naked of their clothing.
7
You have given no water to the weary to drink,
and you have withheld bread from the hungry.
8
The man with power possessed the land,
and the favored man lived in it.
9
You have sent widows away empty,
and the arms of the fatherless were crushed.
10
Therefore snares are all around you,
and sudden terror overwhelms you,
11
or darkness, so that you cannot see,
and a flood of water covers you.
12
"Is not God high in the heavens?
See the highest stars, how lofty they are!
13
But you say, ‘What does God know?
Can he judge through the deep darkness?
14
Thick clouds veil him, so that he does not see,
and he walks on the vault of heaven.’
15
Will you keep to the old way
that wicked men have trod?
16
They were snatched away before their time;
their foundation was washed away.
New International Version
Chapter 22
4
"Is it for your piety that he rebukes you
and brings charges against you?
5
Is not your wickedness great?
Are not your sins endless?
6
You demanded security from your relatives for no reason;
you stripped people of their clothing, leaving them naked.
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.
12
"Is not God in the heights of heaven?
And see how lofty are the highest stars!
13
Yet you say, ‘What does God know?
Does he judge through such darkness?
14
Thick clouds veil him, so he does not see us
as he goes about in the vaulted heavens.’
15
Will you keep to the old path
that the wicked have trod?
16
They were carried off before their time,
their foundations washed away by a flood.
New King James Version
Chapter 22
4
“Is it because of your fear of Him that He corrects you,
And enters into judgment with you?

Is
not your wickedness great,
And your iniquity without end?
6
For you have taken pledges from your brother for no reason,
And stripped the naked of their clothing.
7
You have not given the weary water to drink,

13
And you say, ‘What does God know?
Can He judge through the deep darkness?
14
Thick 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 were cut down before their time,
Whose foundations were swept away by a flood?
