Job 22:4-11

New Century Version

⁴ Does God punish you for respecting him?
    Does he bring you into court for this?
⁵ No! It is because your evil is without limits
    and your sins have no end.
⁶ You took your brothers’ things for a debt they didn’t owe;
    you took clothes from people and left them naked.
⁷ You did not give water to tired people,
    and you kept food from the hungry.
⁸ You were a powerful man who owned land;
    you were honored and lived in the land.
⁹ But you sent widows away empty-handed,
    and you mistreated orphans.
¹⁰ That is why traps are all around you
    and sudden danger frightens you.
¹¹ That is why it is so dark you cannot see
    and a flood of water covers you.
