Job 22:4-11
Lexham English Bible
4 Does he reprove you because of your reverence
or enter into judgment with you?
5 Is not your wickedness great,
and there is no end to your iniquities?
6 “Indeed, you have required a pledge from your family for nothing,
and you have stripped off the clothes of the naked.
7 You have given no water for the weary to drink,
and you withheld food from the hungry.
8 And the land belongs to the man of power,[a]
and the favored[b] lives in it.
9 You have sent widows away empty-handed,
and the arms of orphans were crushed.
10 Therefore trapping nets are all around you,
and panic suddenly terrifies you,
11 or it is so dark you cannot see,
and a flood of water covers you.
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.
