Job 34:20
Compare all
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 “Fora 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.

Job 34:20

In a moment shall they die - Both are equally dependent on the Almighty for their breath and being; the mighty as well as the poor. If the great men of the earth have abused their power, he sometimes cuts them off by the most sudden and unexpected death; and even at midnight, when in security, and least capable of defense, they are cut off by the people whom they have oppressed, or by the invisible hand of the angel of death. This appears to be spoken in reference to Eastern tyrants, who seldom die a natural death.
