Job 22:6-12 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

6. “Indeed, you have required a pledge from your family for nothing, and you have stripped off the clothes of the naked.

7. You have given no water for the weary to drink, and you withheld food from the hungry.

8. And the land belongs to the man of power, and the favored lives in it.

9. You have sent widows away empty-handed, and the arms of orphans were crushed.

10. Therefore trapping nets are all around you, and panic suddenly terrifies you,

11. or it is so dark you cannot see, and a flood of water covers you.

12. “Is not God in the height of the heavens? But see how lofty are the highest stars.
