Job 34:10-30
10Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding:Far be it from God, that he should do wickedness,And from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.11For the work of a man will he render unto him,And cause every man to find according to his ways.12Yea, of a surety, God will not do wickedly,Neither will the Almighty pervert justice.13Who gave him a charge over the earth?Or who hath disposed the whole world?14If he set his heart upon himself,Ifhe gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;15All flesh shall perish together,And man shall turn again unto dust.16If nowthou hastunderstanding, hear this:Hearken to the voice of my words.17Shall even one that hateth justice govern?And wilt thou condemn him that is righteous and mighty?—18Himthat saith to a king, Thou art vile,Orto nobles, Ye arewicked;19That respecteth not the persons of princes,Nor regardeth the rich more than the poor;For they all are the work of his hands.20In a moment they die, even at midnight;The people are shaken and pass away,And the mighty are taken away without hand.21For his eyes are upon the ways of a man,And he seeth all his goings.22There is no darkness, nor thick gloom,Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.23For he needeth not further to consider a man,That he should go before God in judgment.24He breaketh in pieces mighty men in ways past finding out,And setteth others in their stead.25Therefore he taketh knowledge of their works;And he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.26He striketh them as wicked menIn the open sight of others;27Because they turned aside from following him,And would not have regard in any of his ways:28So that they caused the cry of the poor to come unto him,And he heard the cry of the afflicted.29When he giveth quietness, who then can condemn?And when he hideth his face, who then can behold him?Alike whether it be done unto a nation, or unto a man:30That the godless man reign not,That there be none to ensnare the people.
