Job 22:12

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.

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?

¹⁴ Thick clouds veil Him so He does not see us as He traverses the vault of heaven.’
