Is it because of your reverent fear that He reproves you,
That He (A)enters into judgment against you?
Is not (B)your evil great,
And your iniquities without end?
For you have (C)taken pledges of your brothers without cause,
And (D)stripped the clothing of the naked.
To the weary you have (E)given no water to drink,
And from the hungry you have (F)withheld bread.
But the earth (G)belongs to the (H)mighty man,
And (I)the [a]highly respected man inhabits it.
You have sent (J)widows away empty,
And the [b]might of the (K)orphans has been crushed.
10 Therefore (L)snares surround you,
And sudden (M)dread terrifies you,
11 Or (N)darkness, so that you cannot see,
And an (O)abundance of water covers you.

  2. Job 22:9 Lit arms

Is it [a]for thy fear of him that he reproveth thee,
That he entereth with thee into judgment?
Is not thy wickedness great?
Neither is there any end to thine iniquities.
For thou hast taken pledges of thy brother for nought,
And stripped the naked of their clothing.
Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink,
And thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
But as for [b]the mighty man, he had the [c]earth;
And [d]the honorable man, he dwelt in it.
Thou hast sent widows away empty,
And the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
10 Therefore snares are round about thee,
And sudden fear troubleth thee,
11 [e]Or darkness, so that thou canst not see,
And abundance of waters cover thee.
