"And did you think that you would not see darkness and that you were not to be overwhelmed by the onrush of overflowing waters? "
— Job 22:11, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.”
“Or darkness, so that thou canst not see, And abundance of waters cover thee. ”
“or darkness, so that you can not see, and floods of waters cover you.”
“why it is so dark you cannot see, and why a flood of water covers you.”
“And didst thou think that thou shouldst not see darkness, and that thou shouldst not be covered with the violence of overflowing waters?”
“Your light is made dark so that you are unable to see, and you are covered by a mass of waters.”
“Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.”
By the strength of your arm, you took possession of the land, and you retain it by being the strongest.
You have sent widows away empty, and you have crushed the shoulders of orphans.
Because of this, you are surrounded by traps, and unexpected fears will disturb you.
And did you think that you would not see darkness and that you were not to be overwhelmed by the onrush of overflowing waters?
Have you not considered that God is higher than the heavens and is lifted above the height of the stars?
And you say: “Well, what does God know?” and, “He judges, as if through a fog,”
and, “The clouds are his hiding-place,” and, “He does not examine us closely,” and, “He makes his rounds at the limits of the heavens.”
