Job 22:12-20
21st Century King James Version
12 “Is not God in the height of heaven? And behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
13 And thou sayest, ‘How doth God know? Can He judge through the dark cloud?
14 Thick clouds are a covering to Him, that He seeth not; and He walketh in the circuit of heaven.’
15 Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden,
16 who were cut down before their time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood,
17 who said unto God, ‘Depart from us. And what can the Almighty do to them?’
18 Yet He filled their houses with good things; but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19 The righteous see it and are glad, and the innocent laugh them to scorn;
20 whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.

Job 22:12-20
American Standard Version
12 Is not God in the height of heaven?
And behold the [a]height of the stars, how high they are!
13 And thou sayest, What doth God know?
Can he judge through the thick darkness?
14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he seeth not;
And he walketh on the vault of heaven.
15 [b]Wilt thou keep the old way
Which wicked men have trodden?
16 Who were snatched away before their time,
Whose foundation was poured out as a stream,
17 Who said unto God, Depart from us;
And, What can the Almighty do [c]for [d]us?
18 Yet he filled their houses with good things:
But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19 The righteous see it, and are glad;
And the innocent laugh them to scorn,
20 Saying, Surely they that did rise up against us are cut off,
And [e]the remnant of them the fire hath consumed.
