Job 22:16

“who were snatched away before their time, whose foundation was poured out as a stream,”

Verse in context — Job 22

Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he doesn't see. He walks on the vault of the sky.

Will you keep the old way, which wicked men have trodden,

who were snatched away before their time, whose foundation was poured out as a stream,

who said to God, 'Depart from us;' and, 'What can the Almighty do for us?

Yet he filled their houses with good things, but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

A poetic exploration of suffering, faith, and God’s sovereignty.
