Job 34:21-30

Evangelical Heritage Version

²¹ because God’s eyes are on the ways of a man,
and he sees all his steps.
²² There is no darkness,
and there is no dark shadow where evildoers can hide,
²³ for God does not need to investigate further
or to set a time of judgment for a person.
²⁴ He breaks mighty rulers without further inquiry,
and he sets up others in their place.
²⁵ Because he knows their deeds,
he overthrows them at night,
and they lie crushed.
²⁶ Because of their wickedness,
    he strikes them in plain sight of everyone.
²⁷ He does this because they turned aside from following him,
and they were not wise enough to follow all his ways.
²⁸ They caused the poor to cry out to God,
so he heard the cry of the afflicted.
