Job 22:4 - 22:11

4
Is it because of your reverent fear that He reproves you,
That He enters into judgment against you?
5
Is not your evil great,
And your iniquities without end?
6
For you have taken pledges of your brothers without cause,
And stripped the clothing of the naked.
7
To the weary you have given no water to drink,
And from the hungry you have withheld bread.
8
But the earth belongs to the mighty man,
And the highly respected man inhabits it.
9
You have sent widows away empty,
And the might of the orphans has been crushed.
10
Therefore snares surround you,
And sudden dread terrifies you,
11
Or darkness, so that you cannot see,
And an abundance of water covers you.
