Job 22:9-15
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 22
9You have sent widows away empty, And the strength of orphans has been crushed. 10Therefore traps surround you, And sudden dread terrifies you, 11Or 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! 13But you say, ‘What does God know? Can He judge through the thick darkness? 14Clouds are a hiding place for Him, so that He cannot see; And He walks on the vault of heaven.’ 15Will you keep to the ancient path Which wicked people have walked,King James Version
Chapter 22
9Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken. 10Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee; 11Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee. 12Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are! 13And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud? 14Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 22
9You sent widows away empty-handed, and the strength of the fatherless was crushed. 10Therefore snares surround you, and sudden dread terrifies you,
11or darkness, so you cannot see, and a flood of water covers you.
12Isn't God as high as the heavens? And look at the highest stars--how lofty they are!
13Yet you say, "What does God know? Can he judge through total darkness?
14Clouds veil him so that he cannot see, as he walks on the circle of the sky."
15Will you continue on the ancient path that wicked men have walked?
New Living Translation
Chapter 22
9You must have sent widows away empty-handed and crushed the hopes of orphans. 10That is why you are surrounded by traps and tremble from sudden fears. 11That is why you cannot see in the darkness, and waves of water cover you.English Standard Version
Chapter 22
9You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless were crushed. 10Therefore snares are all around you, and sudden terror overwhelms you, 11or 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! 13But you say, ‘What does God know? Can he judge through the deep darkness? 14Thick clouds veil him, so that he does not see, and he walks on the vault of heaven.’ 15Will you keep to the old way that wicked men have trod?New International Version
Chapter 22
9And you sent widows away empty-handed and broke the strength of the fatherless. 10That is why snares are all around you, why sudden peril terrifies you,
11why it is so dark you cannot see, and why a flood of water covers you.
12Is 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?
