Job 22:9

You sent widows away empty-handed, and the strength of the fatherless was crushed.

Job 22:9 · BSB

Job 22:9 in context

The verses around it, from Job 22.

5 Is not your wickedness great? Are not your iniquities endless?

6 For you needlessly demanded security from your brothers and deprived the naked of their clothing.

7 You gave no water to the weary and withheld food from the famished,

8 while the land belonged to a mighty man, and a man of honor lived on it.

9 You sent widows away empty-handed, and the strength of the fatherless was crushed.

10 Therefore snares surround you, and sudden peril terrifies you;

11 it is so dark you cannot see, and a flood of water covers you.

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?
