Let Us Discern What Is Good · Job 34

24He shatters the mighty without investigation, and sets others in their place.

25Therefore he recognizes their deeds; he overturns them in the night, and they are crushed.

26He strikes them as wicked people in full view.

27because they turned away from following him and gave no thought to any of his ways.

28so as to bring before him the cry of the poor, and he hears the cry of the afflicted.

29If he gives quietness, who can condemn? If he hides his face, who can see him? This is so for a nation and for a man alike.

30lest a godless man reign, because of the snares of the people.
