Job 22:6-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
6 You keep your relatives’ goods in pledge unjustly,[a]
leave them stripped naked of their clothing.(A)
7 To the thirsty you give no water to drink,
and from the hungry you withhold bread;
8 As if the land belonged to the powerful,
and only the privileged could dwell in it!
9 You sent widows away empty-handed,
and the resources of orphans are destroyed.(B)
10 Therefore snares are round about you,(C)
sudden terror makes you panic,
11 Or darkness—you cannot see!
A deluge of waters covers you.
