Job 34:27-29

New International Reader's Version

²⁷ That’s because they turned away from following him.
    They didn’t have respect for anything he does.
²⁸ They caused poor people to cry out to him.
    He heard the cries of those who were in need.
²⁹ But if he remains silent, who can judge him?
    If he turns his face away, who can see him?
He rules over individual people and nations alike.
