Job 34:21-30
Legacy Standard Bible
21 “For (A)His eyes are upon the ways of a man,
And He sees all his steps.
22 There is (B)no darkness or shadow of death
Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
23 [a]For He does not (C)need to consider a man further,
That he should go before God in judgment.
24 He breaks in pieces (D)mighty men without searching anything out,
And sets others in their place.
25 Therefore He (E)recognizes their labors,
And (F)He overthrows them in the night,
And they are crushed.
26 He (G)strikes them like the wicked
[b]In a public place,
27 Because they (H)turned aside from following Him,
And (I)had no insight from any of His ways;
28 So that they caused (J)the cry of the poor to come to Him,
And that He might (K)hear the cry of the afflicted.
29 So if He keeps quiet, who then can condemn?
So if He hides His face, who then can perceive Him?
He is above both nation and man altogether,
30 So that (L)godless men would not rule
Nor be snares of the people.

21 “For(A) His eyes are on the ways of man,
And He sees all his steps.
22 (B)There is no darkness nor shadow of death
Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
23 For He need not further consider a man,
That he should go before God in judgment.
24 (C)He breaks in pieces mighty men without inquiry,
And sets others in their place.
25 Therefore He knows their works;
He overthrows them in the night,
And they are crushed.
26 He strikes them as wicked men
In the open sight of others,
27 Because they (D)turned back from Him,
And (E)would not consider any of His ways,
28 So that they (F)caused the cry of the poor to come to Him;
For He (G)hears the cry of the afflicted.
29 When He gives quietness, who then can make trouble?
And when He hides His face, who then can see Him,
Whether it is against a nation or a man alone?—
30 That the hypocrite should not reign,
Lest the people be ensnared.

Job 34:21-30
New International Version
21 “His eyes are on the ways of mortals;(A)
he sees their every step.(B)
22 There is no deep shadow,(C) no utter darkness,(D)
where evildoers can hide.(E)
23 God has no need to examine people further,(F)
that they should come before him for judgment.(G)
24 Without inquiry he shatters(H) the mighty(I)
and sets up others in their place.(J)
25 Because he takes note of their deeds,(K)
he overthrows them in the night(L) and they are crushed.(M)
26 He punishes them for their wickedness(N)
where everyone can see them,
27 because they turned from following him(O)
and had no regard for any of his ways.(P)
28 They caused the cry of the poor to come before him,
so that he heard the cry of the needy.(Q)
29 But if he remains silent,(R) who can condemn him?(S)
If he hides his face,(T) who can see him?
Yet he is over individual and nation alike,(U)
30 to keep the godless(V) from ruling,(W)
from laying snares for the people.(X)
