Job 22:4-11
New American Standard Bible
4 Is it because of your [a]reverence that He punishes you,
That He (A)enters into judgment against you?
5 Is (B)your wickedness not abundant,
And is there no end to your guilty deeds?
6 For you have (C)seized pledges from your brothers without cause,
And [b](D)stripped people naked.
7 You have (E)given the weary no water to drink,
And you have (F)withheld bread from the hungry.
8 But the earth (G)belongs to the (H)powerful man,
And (I)the one who is honorable dwells on it.
9 You have sent (J)widows away empty,
And the [c]strength of (K)orphans has been crushed.
10 Therefore (L)traps surround you,
And sudden (M)dread terrifies you,
11 Or (N)darkness, so that you cannot see,
And a (O)flood of water covers you.
Job 22:4-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 Is it for your piety that he reproves you
and enters into judgment with you?(A)
5 Is not your wickedness great?
There is no end to your iniquities.(B)
6 For you have exacted pledges from your family for no reason
and stripped the naked of their clothing.(C)
7 You have given no water to the weary to drink,
and you have withheld bread from the hungry.(D)
8 The powerful possess the land,
and the favored live in it.
9 You have sent widows away empty-handed,
and the arms of the orphans you have crushed.[a](E)
10 Therefore snares are around you,
and sudden terror overwhelms you,
11 or darkness so that you cannot see;
a flood of water covers you.(F)
