Job 22:12-20

New International Version

¹² “Is not God in the heights of heaven?^(A)
    And see how lofty are the highest stars!
¹³ Yet you say, ‘What does God know?^(B)
    Does he judge through such darkness?^(C)
14 Thick clouds^(D) veil him, so he does not see us^(E)
    as he goes about in the vaulted heavens.’^(F)
15 Will you keep to the old path
    that the wicked^(G) have trod?^(H)
16 They were carried off before their time,^(I)
    their foundations^(J) washed away by a flood.^(K)
17 They said to God, ‘Leave us alone!
    What can the Almighty do to us?’^(L)
18 Yet it was he who filled their houses with good things,^(M)
    so I stand aloof from the plans of the wicked.^(N)
19 The righteous see their ruin and rejoice;^(O)
    the innocent mock^(P) them, saying,
²⁰ ‘Surely our foes are destroyed,^(Q)
    and fire^(R) devours their wealth.’
