Job 34:16-22

16“But if you have understanding, hear this; Listen to the sound of my words.17Shall 1one who hates justice rule? And 2will you condemn the righteous mighty One,18Who says to a king, ‘You worthless one,’ To nobles, ‘You wicked one’;19Who shows no 3partiality to the prominent, Nor regards the rich as above the poor, Since they are all the 4work of His hands?20In a moment they die, and 5at midnight People are shaken and pass away, And 6the powerful are taken away without a hand.

21“For 7His eyes are upon the ways of a person, And He sees all his steps.22There is 8no darkness or deep shadow Where the workers of injustice can hide themselves.
