Job 22:19

Tree of Life Version

See the chapter Copy

The upright are appalled at this; the innocent are stirred up against the ungodly.

If a scourge smites suddenly, He mocks the despair of the innocent.

The upright see it and are glad, and all iniquity shuts its mouth.

You love only devouring words— treacherous tongue!

Even before your pots can feel a thorn —whether alive or ablaze— He will sweep the wicked away.

Then all men will fear. So they will declare the work of God, and ponder what He has done.

Zion hears and is glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoice, because of Your judgments, Adonai.

When the righteous do well, a city rejoices. When the wicked perish, there are shouts of joy.

Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you kedoshim, emissaries and prophets! For God has judged her condemnation of you!”
