Job 22:19

Judgment

17 They said to God, ‘Depart from us. What can the Almighty do to us?’

18 But it was He who filled their houses with good things; so I stay far from the counsel of the wicked.

The righteous see it and are glad; the innocent mock them:

20 ‘Surely our foes are destroyed, and fire has consumed their excess.’

21 Reconcile now and be at peace with Him; thereby good will come to you.
