Job 22:6

Read in context

Job 22:4–8 · Berean Standard Bible

4 Is it for your reverence that He rebukes you and enters into judgment against you?

5 Is not your wickedness great? Are not your iniquities endless?

6 For you needlessly demanded security from your brothers and deprived the naked of their clothing.

7 You gave no water to the weary and withheld food from the famished,

8 while the land belonged to a mighty man, and a man of honor lived on it.
