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.
Job 34:21-30
Lexham English Bible
21 “Indeed, his eyes are upon the ways of man,
and he sees all his steps.
22 There is no darkness, and there is no deep shadow
where instigators of mischief might hide themselves.
23 Indeed, he has not yet appointed a time for man
to go to God in the judgment.
24 He shatters the mighty without investigation,
and he sets others in their place.
25 Therefore he knows their works,
and he overturns them in the night
so that[a] they are crushed.
26 He strikes them where the wicked stood,[b]
where there are onlookers,[c]
27 because they have turned aside from him
and have not understood any of his ways,
28 so that they cause the cry of distress from the helpless to come to him,
and he hears the cry of distress from the needy,
29 but he remains quiet, and who can condemn?
And he hides his face, and who can behold him?
Yet[d] he is over a nation and over a person alike,
30 so that godless human beings should not reign,
nor those who ensnare the people.
