"By the strength of your arm, you took possession of the land, and you retain it by being the strongest. "
— Job 22:8, Catholic Public Domain Version
“But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.”
“But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; And the honorable man, he dwelt in it. ”
“But as for the mighty man, he had the earth. The honorable man, he lived in it.”
“Although you were a powerful man, owning land, an honored man living on it,”
“In the strength of thy arm thou didst possess the land, and being the most mighty thou holdest it.”
“For it was the man with power who had the land, and the man with an honoured name who was living in it.”
“But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.”
and not because of your many evil deeds and your infinite unfairness?
For you have taken away the collateral of your brothers without cause, and stripped them naked of their clothing.
You have not given water to the weary; you have taken bread away from the hungry.
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?
