Job 34:26 - Forerunner Commentary

Job 34:26

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.
