Holy Scripture

Job 22:15

A church father on this verse
“Wouldest thou mark the old way, which wicked men have trodden? LITERAL INTERPRETATION As the 'way' of our Redeemer is humility, so the way of the world is pride. And so wicked men tread the way of the world, in that by the desires of this world they walk in self-exaltation.”
Gregory the Dialogist, 7th c. — Morals on the Book of Job, Book XVI

13And thou hast said, What does the Mighty One know? Does he judge in the dark?

14A cloud is his hiding place, and he shall not be seen; And he passes through the circle of heaven.

— Job 22:15 —

16Who were seized before their time: Their foundations are as an overflowing stream.

17Who say, What will the Lord do to us? Or what will the Almighty bring upon us?
