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]
