Job 22:12-20

New American Standard Bible

¹² “Is God not ^(A)in the height of heaven?
Look also at the ^[a]highest stars, how high they are!
¹³ But you say, ‘^(B)What does God know?
Can He judge through the thick darkness?
^14 (C)Clouds are a hiding place for Him, so that He cannot see;
And He walks on the ^[b]vault of heaven.’
¹⁵ Will you keep to the ancient path
Which ^(D)wicked people have walked,
¹⁶ Who were snatched away ^(E)before their time,
Whose ^(F)foundations were ^[c]washed away by a river?
¹⁷ They ^(G)said to God, ‘Go away from us!’
And ‘What can ^[d]the Almighty do to them?’
¹⁸ Yet He ^(H)filled their houses with good things;
But ^(I)the advice of the wicked is far from me.
¹⁹ The ^(J)righteous see and are glad,
And the innocent mock them, saying,
²⁰ ‘Truly our enemies are eliminated,
And ^(K)fire has consumed their ^[e]abundance.’
