Job 22:9

Eliphaz's Third Speech

⁸ For it was the man with power who had the land, and the man with an honoured name who was living in it. ⁹ You have sent widows away without hearing their cause, and you have taken away the support of the child who has no father. ¹⁰ For this cause nets are round your feet, and you are overcome with sudden fear.
