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.”
