Job 22:11

Judgment

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;

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?

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
