Job 34:21-30
Christian Standard Bible
Job 34:21-30
Christian Standard Bible
21 For his eyes watch over a man’s ways,
and he observes all his steps.(A)
22 There is no darkness, no deep darkness,
where evildoers can hide.(B)
23 God does not need to examine a person further,
that one should[a] approach him in court.
24 He shatters the mighty without an investigation
and sets others in their place.(C)
25 Therefore, he recognizes their deeds(D)
and overthrows them by night, and they are crushed.
26 In full view of the public,[b]
he strikes them for their wickedness,
27 because they turned aside from following him
and did not understand any of his ways
28 but caused the poor to cry out to him,
and he heard the outcry of the needy.(E)
29 But when God is silent, who can declare him guilty?
When he hides his face, who can see him?
Yet he watches over both individuals and nations,
30 so that godless men should not rule
or ensnare the people.

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)
