Read in context

Job 22:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

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?

14 Thick clouds veil Him so He does not see us as He traverses the vault of heaven.’
