Job 22:4-11
Christian Standard Bible
4 Does he correct you and take you to court
because of your piety?(A)
5 Isn’t your wickedness abundant
and aren’t your iniquities endless?
6 For you took collateral(B) from your brothers without cause,
stripping off their clothes and leaving them naked.
7 You gave no water to the thirsty
and withheld food from the famished,(C)
8 while the land belonged to a powerful man
and an influential man lived on it.
9 You sent widows away empty-handed,
and the strength of the fatherless(D) was[a] crushed.
10 Therefore snares surround you,
and sudden dread terrifies(E) you,
11 or darkness, so you cannot see,
and a flood of water covers you.(F)

Job 22:4-11
New Living Translation
4 Is it because you’re so pious that he accuses you
and brings judgment against you?
5 No, it’s because of your wickedness!
There’s no limit to your sins.
6 “For example, you must have lent money to your friend
and demanded clothing as security.
Yes, you stripped him to the bone.
7 You must have refused water for the thirsty
and food for the hungry.
8 You probably think the land belongs to the powerful
and only the privileged have a right to it!
9 You must have sent widows away empty-handed
and crushed the hopes of orphans.
10 That is why you are surrounded by traps
and tremble from sudden fears.
11 That is why you cannot see in the darkness,
and waves of water cover you.

and broke the strength of the fatherless.(N)

and why a flood of water covers you.(S)
