Job 34
13 Ref Who put the earth into his care, or made him responsible for the world?
14 Ref If he made his spirit come back to him, taking his breath into himself again,
15 Ref All flesh would come to an end together, and man would go back to the dust.
16 Ref If you are wise, take note of this; give ear to the voice of my words.
17 Ref How may a hater of right be a ruler? and will you say that the upright Ruler of all is evil?
18 Ref He who says to a king, You are an evil-doer; and to rulers, You are sinners;
19 Ref Who has no respect for rulers, and who gives no more attention to those who have wealth than to the poor, for they are all the work of his hands.
20 Ref Suddenly they come to an end, even in the middle of the night: the blow comes on the men of wealth, and they are gone, and the strong are taken away without the hand of man.
21 Ref For his eyes are on the ways of a man, and he sees all his steps.
22 Ref There is no dark place, and no thick cloud, in which the workers of evil may take cover.
23 Ref For he does not give man a fixed time to come before him to be judged.
24 Ref He sends the strong to destruction without searching out their cause, and puts others in their place.
25 Ref For he has knowledge of their works, overturning them in the night, so that they are crushed.
26 Ref The evil-doers are broken by his wrath, he puts his hand on them with force before the eyes of all onlookers.
27 Ref Because they did not go after him, and took no note of his ways,
28 Ref So that the cry of the poor might come up to him, and the prayer of those in need come to his ears.
