New Testament

Job 22:10-18 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

10. So now there are pitfalls all round you,and suddenly you are full of fear.

11. It has grown so dark that you cannot see,and a flood overwhelms you.

12. Doesn't God live in the highest heavensand look down on the stars, even though they are high?

13. And yet you ask, “What does God know?He is hidden by clouds — how can he judge us?”

14. You think the thick clouds keep him from seeing,as he walks on the dome of the sky.

15. Are you determined to walk in the pathsthat evil people have always followed?

16. Even before their time had come,they were washed away by a flood.

17. These are the ones who rejected Godand believed that he could do nothing to them.

18. And yet it was God who made them prosperous —I can't understand the thoughts of the wicked.
