Context of Job 34:25
23For God need not examine a man further or have him approach for judgment. 24He shatters the mighty without inquiry and sets up others in their place. Therefore, He recognizes their deeds; He overthrows them in the night and they are crushed. 26He strikes them for their wickedness in full view, 27because they turned aside from Him and had no regard for any of His ways.

Commentaries on Job 34:25
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 25He knoweth their works - He knows what they have done, and what they are plotting to do.
