Job 34:21-30

Amplified Bible

²¹ 
“For God’s eyes are on the ways of a man,
And He sees all his steps.^(A)
22 
“There is no darkness nor deep shadow
Where the evildoers may hide themselves.
²³ 
“For He sets no appointed time for a man,
That he should appear before Him in judgment.
²⁴ 
“He breaks mighty men without inquiry,
And sets others in their place.^(B)
25 
“Therefore He knows of their works,
And He overthrows them in the night,
So that they are crushed and destroyed.
²⁶ 
“He strikes them like the wicked
In a public place,
²⁷ 
Because they turned aside from following Him
And would not consider or show regard for any of His ways,^(C)
28 
So that they caused the cry of the poor to come to Him,
And He heard the cry of the afflicted.^(D)
29 
“When He keeps quiet, who then can condemn?
When He hides His face [withdrawing His favor and help], who then can behold Him [and make supplication to Him],
Whether it be a nation or a man by himself?—
³⁰ 
So that godless men would not rule
Nor be snares for the people.
