Job 22:6-13 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

6. You keep your relatives’ goods in pledge unjustly,leave them stripped naked of their clothing.

7. To the thirsty you give no water to drink,and from the hungry you withhold bread;

8. As if the land belonged to the powerful,and only the privileged could dwell in it!

9. You sent widows away empty-handed,and the resources of orphans are destroyed.

10. Therefore snares are round about you,sudden terror makes you panic,

11. Or darkness—you cannot see!A deluge of waters covers you.

12. Does not God, in the heights of the heavens,behold the top of the stars, high though they are?

13. Yet you say, “What does God know?Can he judge through the thick darkness?
