Job 22:4-11
Living Bible
4 Is it because you are good that he is punishing you? 5 Not at all! It is because of your wickedness! Your sins are endless!
6 “For instance, you must have refused to loan money to needy friends unless they gave you all their clothing as a pledge—yes, you must have stripped them to the bone. 7 You must have refused water to the thirsty and bread to the starving. 8 But no doubt you gave men of importance anything they wanted and let the wealthy live wherever they chose. 9 You sent widows away without helping them and broke the arms of orphans. 10-11 That is why you are now surrounded by traps and sudden fears, and darkness and waves of horror.
