Job 22:16-18

Modern English Version

¹⁶ They were cut down before their time;
    their foundations were swept away by a flood.
¹⁷ They said to God, ‘Depart from us,’
    and, ‘What can the Almighty do to us?’
¹⁸ Yet He filled their houses with good things;
    but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
