Bible verse
But it was He who filled their houses with good things; so I stay far from the counsel of the wicked.
Job 22:18 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 22.
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?’
18 But it was He who filled their houses with good things; so I stay far from the counsel of the wicked.
19 The righteous see it and are glad; the innocent mock them:
20 ‘Surely our foes are destroyed, and fire has consumed their excess.’
21 Reconcile now and be at peace with Him; thereby good will come to you.
22 Receive instruction from His mouth, and lay up His words in your heart.
