Job 34:16-22

16“If you have understanding, listen to this, hear what I have to say.

17Do you really think that one who hates justice can govern? And will you declare guilty the supremely righteous One,

18who says to a king, ‘Worthless man’ and to nobles, ‘Wicked men,’

19who shows no partiality to princes, and does not take note of the rich more than the poor, because all of them are the work of his hands?

20In a moment they die, in the middle of the night, people are shaken and they pass away. The mighty are removed effortlessly.

21For his eyes are on the ways of an individual, he observes all a person’s steps.

22There is no darkness, and no deep darkness, where evildoers can hide themselves.
