Job 22:4-11
1599 Geneva Bible
4 Is it for fear [a]of thee that he will accuse thee? or go with thee into judgment?
5 Is not thy wickedness great, and thine iniquities innumerable?
6 For thou hast taken the [b]pledge from thy brother for nought, and spoiled the clothes of the naked.
7 To such as were weary, thou hast not given water to drink, and hast withdrawn bread from the hungry.
8 But the mighty man [c]had the earth, and he that was in authority, dwelt in it.
9 Thou hast cast out widows empty, and the arms of the [d]fatherless were broken.
10 Therefore snares are round about thee, and fear shall suddenly trouble thee.
11 Or darkness that thou shouldest not see, and [e]abundance of waters shall cover thee.
