Job 22:6-8
New Catholic Bible
The Injustice Job Has Committed[a]
6 “You have exacted pledges from your brothers as security
and left them naked, stripped of their clothing.[b]
7 To the thirsty you offered no water to drink,
and you withheld bread from those who were starving.
8 Should the land belong only to the powerful?
Are only those who are favored allowed to dwell in it?
