Job 34:19 - John Wesley's Notes

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,

27 Because they ^aturned back from Him,
And ^bwould not consider any of His ways,

28 So that they ^acaused the cry of the poor to come to Him;
For He ^bhears the cry of the afflicted.

29 When He gives quietness, who then can make trouble?
And when He hides His face, who then can see Him,
Whether it is against a nation or a man alone?—

30 That the hypocrite should not reign,
Lest the people be ensnared.

31 “For has anyone said to God,
‘I have borne chastening;
I will offend no more;
