Job 34:21-30

Revised Standard Version

²¹ “For his eyes are upon the ways of a man,
    and he sees all his steps.
²² There is no gloom or deep darkness
    where evildoers may hide themselves.
²³ For he has not appointed a time^[a] for any man
    to go before God in judgment.
²⁴ He shatters the mighty without investigation,
    and sets others in their place.
²⁵ Thus, knowing their works,
    he overturns them in the night, and they are crushed.
²⁶ He strikes them for their wickedness
    in the sight of men,
²⁷ because they turned aside from following him,
    and had no regard for any of his ways,
²⁸ so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him,
    and he 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.
