Job 22:12-20

God's Omniscience and the Fate of the Wicked

Job 22:12-20
12
"Isn't God in the heights of heaven, looking [down even] on the highest stars?
13
Yet you say, 'What does God know? Can he see through thick darkness to judge?
14
The clouds veil him off, so that he can't see; he just wanders around in heaven.'
15
"Are you going to keep to the old way, the one the wicked have trodden,
16
the ones snatched away before their time, whose foundations a flood swept away?
17
They said to God, 'Leave us alone! What can Shaddai do to us?'
18
Yet he himself had filled their homes with good things! (But the advice of the wicked is far away from me.)
19
The righteous saw this and rejoiced; the innocent laughed them to scorn -
20
'Indeed, our substance has not been not cut off, but the fire has consumed their wealth.'
