Job 34:21-37 ▼

21 For His eyes are upon the ways of man, and all of his steps He sees.

22 There is no darkness and no shadow of death, for the workers of iniquity to be hidden there.

23 For He does not set upon a man further, for his going before God in the judgment.

24 He breaks the mighty without investigation, and makes others stand in their place.

25 Therefore, He recognizes their works, and He overturns them in the night, and they are crushed.

26 In exchange for their wickednesses, He strikes them in a place of seeing,

27 which was upon thus: They turned aside from Him, and they had no regard for any of His ways,

28 They caused the cry of the poor to cause to come before Him—and He heard the cry of the afflicted.

29 And he is silent, and who can call Him wicked? And He hides His face, and who can see Him? And He is over a nation and over man alike,

30 from the reigning of godless a man, from the snares of the people.

31 If one says to God, ‘I have lifted it, and no more will I offend;

32 besides what I see, You teach me; if I have done iniquity, I will not continue it’

33 will he repay it from with you, because you have rejected it? Then you must choose, and not I, and may you speak what you know.

34 Men of understanding will say to me, and the wise man who is listening to me:

35 ‘Job does not speak with knowledge, and His words are not with wisdom.’

36 If only Job were tested to the end, upon his answers among men of iniquity!

37 For he adds rebellion upon his sin; among us he claps, and he multiplies his words against God.”
