Job 34:19

Read in context

Job 34:17–21 · Berean Standard Bible

17 Could one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn the just and mighty One,

18 who says to kings, ‘You are worthless!’ and to nobles, ‘You are wicked,’

19 who is not partial to princes and does not favor rich over poor? For they are all the work of His hands.

20 They die in an instant, in the middle of the night. The people convulse and pass away; the mighty are removed without human hand.

21 For His eyes are on the ways of a man, and He sees his every step.
