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)

Job 22:4-11
International Standard Version
4 Will he acquit you just because you fear him,
and render a verdict on your behalf?
5 Your wickedness is great, isn’t it?
There’s no limit to your iniquity, is there?
6 “After all, you’ve taken collateral from your relatives for no reason;
you stripped the naked of their clothing.[a]
7 You’ve neglected to give water to the weary,[b]
and you’ve withheld food from the hungry.
8 The land belongs to the powerful,
and the privileged[c] thrive in it.
9 You sent away widows empty-handed,
and broke the outstretched arms of orphans.
10 That’s why disaster surrounds you,
terror suddenly overwhelms you,
11 you see nothing but darkness,
and a flood of troubles[d] drowns you.”
