12 “Is not God in the heights of heaven? And see the lofty stars how high they are?
13 Yet you say, ‘What does God know? Does He judge through such thick darkness?
14 Thick clouds veil Him so He does not see, as He walks in the vault of heaven.’
15 Will you keep to the old way that wicked men have trod?
16 They were snatched away before their time, their foundations washed away by a river.
17 They said to God, ‘Leave us alone! What can Shaddai do to us?’
18 Yet He filled their houses with good things— but the counsel of the wicked is far from me!
