Job 22:4-11
English Standard Version
Job 22:4-11
English Standard Version
4 Is it for your fear of him that he reproves you
and (A)enters into judgment with you?
5 Is not your evil abundant?
There is no end to your iniquities.
6 For you have (B)exacted pledges of your brothers for nothing
(C)and stripped the naked of their clothing.
7 You have given no water to the weary to drink,
and you have (D)withheld bread from the hungry.
8 (E)The man with power possessed the land,
and (F)the favored man lived in it.
9 You have (G)sent widows away empty,
and (H)the arms of (I)the fatherless were crushed.
10 Therefore (J)snares are all around you,
and sudden terror overwhelms you,
11 or (K)darkness, so that you cannot see,
and a (L)flood of (M)water covers you.

Holman Christian Standard Bible
Job 22:4-11
Holman 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)

4 “Is it for your piety that he rebukes you
and brings charges against you?(A)

you stripped people of their clothing, leaving them naked.(F)

and broke the strength of the fatherless.(N)
10 That is why snares(O) are all around you,(P)
