Job 22:12-20
World English Bible
12 “Isn’t God in the heights of heaven?
See the height of the stars, how high they are!
13 You say, ‘What does God know?
Can he judge through the thick darkness?
14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he doesn’t see.
He walks on the vault of the sky.’
15 Will you keep the old way,
which wicked men have trodden,
16 who were snatched away before their time,
whose foundation was poured out as a stream,
17 who said to God, ‘Depart from us;’
and, ‘What can the Almighty do for us?’
18 Yet he filled their houses with good things,
but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19 The righteous see it, and are glad.
The innocent ridicule them,
20 saying, ‘Surely those who rose up against us are cut off.
The fire has consumed their remnant.’
Job 22:12-20
New King James Version
12 “Is not God in the height of heaven?
And see the highest stars, how lofty they are!
13 And you say, (A)‘What does God know?
Can He judge through the deep darkness?
14 (B)Thick clouds cover Him, so that He cannot see,
And He walks above the circle of heaven.’
15 Will you keep to the old way
Which wicked men have trod,
16 Who (C)were cut down before their time,
Whose foundations were swept away by a flood?
17 (D)They said to God, ‘Depart from us!
What can the Almighty do to [a]them?’
18 Yet He filled their houses with good things;
But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
19 “The(E) righteous see it and are glad,
And the innocent laugh at them:
20 ‘Surely our [b]adversaries are cut down,
And the fire consumes their remnant.’
