Job 22:16-18
EasyEnglish Bible

16 Those people died before they should have done.
    A great flood of water took them away.
    They had no safe place to stand.[a]
17 They said to God, “Leave us alone!”
    They thought that Almighty God could not hurt them.
18 But it was God who gave them many good things to enjoy.
    So I cannot accept the ideas of wicked people.
