Job 22:12-20

Amplified Bible

¹² 
“Is not God in the height of heaven?
And behold the distant stars, how high they are!
¹³ 
“You say, ‘What does God know [about me]?
Can He judge through the thick darkness?
¹⁴ 
‘Thick clouds are a hiding place for Him, so that He cannot see,
And He walks on the vault (circle) of the heavens.’
¹⁵ 
“Will you keep to the ancient path
That wicked men walked [in the time of Noah],^(A)
16 
Men who were snatched away before their time,
Whose foundations were poured out like a river?
¹⁷ 
“They said to God, ‘Depart from us!
What can the Almighty do for us or to us?’
¹⁸ 
“Yet He filled their houses with good things;
But the counsel of the wicked and ungodly is far from me.
¹⁹ 
“The righteous see it and are glad;
And the innocent mock and laugh at them, saying,
²⁰ 
‘Surely our adversaries are cut off and destroyed,
And fire has consumed their abundance.’
