Job 22:12 Context
10Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden feare troubleth thee, 11Or darkenes that thou canst not see, and abundance of waters couer thee. 12Is not God in the height of heauen? and behold the height of the starres how high they are. 13And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he iudge through the darke cloude? 14Thicke cloudes are a couering to him that he seeth not, and hee walketh in the circuit of heauen.
