New Testament

Job 22:13-23 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

13. But you say, ‘God knows nothing.He cannot judge us through the dark clouds.

14. Thick clouds cover him so he cannot see us.He walks around high up in the sky.’

15. Are you going to stay on the old pathwhere evil people walk?

16. They were carried away before their time was up.Their foundations were washed away by a flood.

17. They said to God, ‘Leave us alone!God All-Powerful can do nothing to us.’

18. But it was God who filled their houses with good things.He did this even though their way of thinking was not godly.

19. “Good people can watch and be glad.Innocent people can laugh at them and say,

20. ‘Surely our enemies are destroyed.And fire burns up their wealth.’

21. “Obey God, and then you will be at peace with him.This way you can be happy.

22. Accept teaching from his mouth.Keep his words in your heart.

23. If you return to God All-Powerful, you will be blessed again.Remove evil from your house.
