Job 34:16-30

16If now thou hastunderstandingH998, hearH8085 this: hearkenH238 to the voiceH6963 of my wordsH4405. 17Shall even he that hatethH8130 rightH4941 governH2280? and wilt thou condemnH7561 him that is mostH3524 justH6662?1 18Is it fit to sayH559 to a kingH4428, Thou art wickedH1100? and to princesH5081, Ye are ungodlyH7563? 19How much less to him that acceptethH5375 not the personsH6440 of princesH8269, nor regardethH5234 the richH7771 more thanH6440 the poorH1800? for they all are the workH4639 of his handsH3027. 20In a momentH7281 they shall dieH4191, and the peopleH5971 shall be troubledH1607 at midnightH2676H3915, and pass awayH5674: and the mightyH47 shall be taken awayH5493 without handH3027.2 21For his eyesH5869 are upon the waysH1870 of manH376, and he seethH7200 all his goingsH6806. 22There is no darknessH2822, nor shadow of deathH6757, where the workersH6466 of iniquityH205 may hideH5641 themselves. 23For he will not layH7760 upon manH376 more than right ; that he should enterH1980 into judgmentH4941 with GodH410.3 24He shall break in piecesH7489 mighty menH3524 without numberH2714, and setH5975 othersH312 in their stead.4 25Therefore he knowethH5234 their worksH4566, and he overturnethH2015 them in the nightH3915, so that they are destroyedH1792.5 26He strikethH5606 them asH8478 wicked menH7563 in the openH4725 sightH7200 of others;6 27Because they turned backH5493 from himH310, and would not considerH7919 any of his waysH1870:7 28So that they cause the cryH6818 of the poorH1800 to comeH935 to him, and he hearethH8085 the cryH6818 of the afflictedH6041. 29When he giveth quietnessH8252, who then can make troubleH7561? and when he hidethH5641 his faceH6440, who then can beholdH7789 him? whether it be done against a nationH1471, or against a manH120 onlyH3162: 30That the hypocriteH120H2611 may not reignH4427, lest the peopleH5971 should be ensnaredH4170.
