Context of Job 22:10
8But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; And the honorable man, he dwelt in it. 9Thou hast sent widows away empty, And the arms of the fatherless have been broken. Therefore snares are round about thee, And sudden fear troubleth thee, 11Or darkness, so that thou canst not see, And abundance of waters cover thee. 12Is not God in the height of heaven? And behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
