New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 22
9 You must have sent widows away empty-handed and crushed the hopes of orphans.
10 That is why you are surrounded by traps and tremble from sudden fears.
11 That is why you cannot see in the darkness, and waves of water cover you.
12 “God is so great—higher than the heavens, higher than the farthest stars.
13 But you reply, ‘That’s why God can’t see what I am doing! How can he judge through the thick darkness?
14 For thick clouds swirl about him, and he cannot see us. He is way up there, walking on the vault of heaven.’
15 “Will you continue on the old paths where evil people have walked?
16 They were snatched away in the prime of life, the foundations of their lives washed away.
17 For they said to God, ‘Leave us alone! What can the Almighty do to us?’
18 Yet he was the one who filled their homes with good things, so I will have nothing to do with that kind of thinking.
19 “The righteous will be happy to see the wicked destroyed, and the innocent will laugh in contempt.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
