Job 22:16 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 22.
12 Is not God as high as the heavens? Look at the highest stars, how lofty they are!
13 Yet you say: ‘What does God know? Does He judge through thick darkness?
14 Thick clouds veil Him so He does not see us as He traverses the vault of heaven.’
15 Will you stay on the ancient path that wicked men have trod?
16 They were snatched away before their time, and their foundations were swept away by a flood.
17 They said to God, ‘Depart from us. What can the Almighty do to us?’

19 The righteous see it and are glad; the innocent mock them:
20 ‘Surely our foes are destroyed, and fire has consumed their excess.’
