Job 22:12 - 22:20

“Is not God in the height of heaven?

Look also at the distant stars, how high they are!

You say, ‘What does God know?

Can He judge through the dense gloom?

Clouds are a hiding place for Him, so that He cannot see;

And He walks on the vault of heaven.’

Will you keep to the ancient path

Which wicked men have trod,

Who were snatched away before their time,

Whose foundations were washed away by a river?

They said to God, ‘Depart from us!’

And ‘What can the Almighty do to them?’

Yet He filled their houses with good things,

But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

The righteous see and are glad,

And the innocent mock them,

Saying, ‘Truly those who rise against us are wiped out,

And their abundance the fire has consumed.’
