Job 22:12-20
Legacy Standard Bible
12 “Is not God (A)in the height of heaven?
Look also at the [a]distant stars, how high they are!
13 You say, ‘(B)What does God know?
Can He judge through the dense gloom?
14 (C)Clouds are a hiding place for Him, so that He cannot see;
And He walks on the [b]vault of heaven.’
15 Will you keep to the ancient path
Which (D)wicked men have trod,
16 Who were snatched away (E)before their time,
Whose (F)foundations were [c]washed away by a river?
17 They (G)said to God, ‘Depart from us!’
And ‘What can [d]the Almighty do to them?’
18 Yet He (H)filled their houses with good things,
But (I)the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19 The (J)righteous see and are glad,
And the innocent mock them,
20 Saying, ‘Truly those who rise against us are wiped out,
And their [e]abundance (K)the fire has consumed.’
Job 22:12-20
Lexham English Bible
12 “Is not God in the height of the heavens?
But[a] see how lofty are the highest stars.[b]
13 And you ask, ‘What does God know?
Can he judge through deep gloom?
14 Thick clouds are a covering for him, so that he does not see;
and he walks about on the dome of heaven.’
15 Will you keep to the way of old
that the people of mischief have trod,
16 who were snatched away before their time,[c]
whose foundation was washed away by a current?
17 Those who said to God, ‘Turn away from us,’
and ‘What can Shaddai do to us?’
18 Yet[d] he himself[e] filled up their houses with good things,
but[f] the schemes of the wicked are repugnant to me.
19 The righteous see, and they rejoice,
but[g] the innocent one mocks at them.
20 Surely[h] our foe perishes,
and fire has consumed their remainder.[i]
