Job 34:19-29
He doesn’t care how great a person may be, and he pays no more attention to the rich than to the poor. He made them all.In a moment they die. In the middle of the night they pass away; the mighty are removed without human hand.“ For God watches how people live; he sees everything they do.No darkness is thick enough to hide the wicked from his eyes.We don’t set the time when we will come before God in judgment.He brings the mighty to ruin without asking anyone, and he sets up others in their place.He knows what they do, and in the night he overturns and destroys them.He strikes them down because they are wicked, doing it openly for all to see.For they turned away from following him. They have no respect for any of his ways.They cause the poor to cry out, catching God’s attention. He hears the cries of the needy.But if he chooses to remain quiet, who can criticize him? When he hides his face, no one can find him, whether an individual or a nation.
