New Testament

Job 22:11-20 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

11. Or darkness, that you can not see; and abundance of waters cover you.

12. Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

13. And you say, How does God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?

14. Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he sees not; and he walks in the circle of heaven.

15. Have you marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?

16. Who were cut down before their time, whose foundation was swept away with a flood:

17. Who said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do to us?

18. Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

19. The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.

20. Surely our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumes.
