Job 22:7-15 Amplified Bible (AMP)

7. You have not given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry. [Matt. 25:42.]

8. But [you, Job] the man with power possessed the land, and the favored and accepted man dwelt in it.

9. You have sent widows away empty-handed, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

10. Therefore snares are round about you, and sudden fear troubles and overwhelms you;

11. Your light is darkened, so that you cannot see, and a flood of water covers you.

12. Is not God in the height of heaven? And behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

13. Therefore you say, How and what does God know [about me]? Can He judge through the thick darkness?

14. Thick clouds are a covering to Him, so that He does not see, and He walks on the vault of the heavens.

15. Will you pay attention and keep to the old way that wicked men trod [in Noah's time], [II Pet. 2:5.]
