Job 22:11

Read in context

Job 22:9–13 · Berean Standard Bible

9 You sent widows away empty-handed, and the strength of the fatherless was crushed.

10 Therefore snares surround you, and sudden peril terrifies you;

11 it is so dark you cannot see, and a flood of water covers you.

12 Is not God as high as the heavens? Look at the highest stars, how lofty they are!

13 Yet you say: ‘What does God know? Does He judge through thick darkness?
