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. ‡

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. ‡
