For thou hast taken pledges of thy brother for nought, And stripped the naked of their clothing.

One dieth in his full strength, Being wholly at ease and quiet:
Their houses are safe from fear, Neither is the rod of God upon them.
Therefore snares are round about thee, And sudden fear troubleth thee,
For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? And where is the tent wherein the wicked dwelt?
And they say unto God, Depart from us; For we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.
They lie down alike in the dust, And the worm covereth them.
How then comfort ye me in vain, Seeing in your answers there remaineth `only' falsehood?
Even when I remember I am troubled, And horror taketh hold on my flesh.
Wherefore do the wicked live, Become old, yea, wax mighty in power?
Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, And thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
Thou hast sent widows away empty, And the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
Job 22
Let his own eyes see his destruction, And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; And the honorable man, he dwelt in it.
`Saying', Surely they that did rise up against us are cut off, And the remnant of them the fire hath consumed.
His pails are full of milk, And the marrow of his bones is moistened.
Who shall declare his way to his face? And who shall repay him what he hath done?
Wilt thou keep the old way Which wicked men have trodden?
Mark me, and be astonished, And lay your hand upon your mouth.
As for me, is my complaint to man? And why should I not be impatient?
He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusteth; And he shall be brought to the king of terrors.
If I look for Sheol as my house; If I have spread my couch in the darkness;
The light shall be dark in his tent, And his lamp above him shall be put out.
Wherefore are we counted as beasts, `And' are become unclean in your sight?
A noose is hid for him in the ground, And a trap for him in the way.
They change the night into day: The light, `say they', is near unto the darkness.
Therefore do my thoughts give answer to me, Even by reason of my haste that is in me.
These ten times have ye reproached me: Ye are not ashamed that ye deal hardly with me.
Know now that God hath subverted me `in my cause', And hath compassed me with his net.
