21 “For his eyes are on (A)the ways of a man,
    and he sees all his (B)steps.
22 There is no (C)gloom or (D)deep darkness
    where evildoers may hide themselves.
23 For God[a] has no need to consider a man further,
    that he should go before God in (E)judgment.
24 He (F)shatters the mighty without investigation
    and sets (G)others in their place.
25 Thus, knowing their works,
    he (H)overturns them in the night, and they are crushed.
26 He strikes them for their wickedness
    in a place for all to see,
27 because they turned aside from (I)following him
    and had no regard for any of his ways,
28 so that they (J)caused the cry of the poor to come to him,
    and he (K)heard the cry of the afflicted—
29 When he is quiet, who can condemn?
    When he hides his face, who can behold him,
    whether it be a nation or a man?—
30 that a godless man should not reign,
    that he should not ensnare the people.

  1. Job 34:23 Hebrew he

21 God’s eyes are on human ways,
    and he sees all their steps.
22 There’s no darkness, no deep darkness,
    where evildoers can hide themselves;
23     surely no time is set for a person
    to appear before God in judgment.
24 He shatters the mighty without examining them;
    makes others take their place.
25 Thus he regards their deeds,
    overturns them at night, and they are crushed.
26 He strikes them because of their wickedness
    at a place where people can see it.
27 Because they turned from following him
        and didn’t value all his ways,
28         causing the cry of the poor to reach him,
    he hears the cry of the afflicted.
29 Still, if he remains quiet, who can condemn;
    if he hides his face, who can see him?
30 He prevents a lawless person from ruling,
    from capturing people.
