Job 34:19 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 34:19

17 ^aShould one who hates justice govern?
Will you ^bcondemn Him who is most just?

18 ^aIs it fitting to say to a king, ‘You are worthless,’
And to nobles, ‘You are wicked’?

19 Yet He ^ais not partial to princes,
Nor does He regard the rich more than the poor;
For ^bthey are all the work of His hands.

20 In a moment they die, ^ain the middle of the night;
The people are shaken and pass away;
The mighty are taken away without a hand.

21 “For^a His eyes are on the ways of man,
And He sees all his steps.

22 ^aThere is no darkness nor shadow of death
Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

23 For He need not further consider a man,
That he should go before God in judgment.

24 ^aHe breaks in pieces mighty men without inquiry,
And sets others in their place.

25 Therefore He knows their works;
He overthrows them in the night,
And they are crushed.

26 He strikes them as wicked men
In the open sight of others,
