Bible verse
‘Surely our foes are destroyed, and fire has consumed their excess.’
Job 22:20 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 22.
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.
23 If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored. If you remove injustice from your tents
24 and consign your gold to the dust and the gold of Ophir to the stones of the ravines,
