Job 34:19-29
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
19 who shows no partiality to nobles,
nor regards the rich more than the poor,
for they are all the work of his hands?(A)

and the mighty are taken away by no human hand.(B)
21 “For his eyes are upon the ways of mortals,

22 There is no gloom or deep darkness
where evildoers may hide themselves.(D)
23 For he has not appointed a time[a] for anyone
to go before God in judgment.
24 He shatters the mighty without investigation

and had no regard for any of his ways,(H)

and he heard the cry of the afflicted—(I)

When he hides his face, who can behold him?
Whether nation or person, it is the same—(J)
