Job 22

Job 22:8

The mighty man, he had the earth.

Thou, through thy covetousness and pride, didst engross the earth to thyself.

Job 22:11

Abundance of water covers thee.

Affliction, like a violent stream, bears thee over, and covers thee, as drowning in the bottom of it.

Job 22:15

Host thou not marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?

Hast thou not observed the course, that God hath of old wont to take with the wicked?

Job 22:20

Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.

This is the lot of wicked men; whereas we, that are righteous and godly, speed otherwise; our substance is both continued and multiplied; but as for them, that, which remains of their riches, together with their persons, shall be consumed with the fire of God’s displeasure.

Job 22:29

When men are cast down, then shalt thou say, There is a lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.

When thou seest good men cast down, then shalt thou, by the strength of thy faith, say; There shall be an exaltation for these men; and God will find a time to deliver and honour the humble person.
