Job 34:18

Elihu Asserts God's Justice

¹⁷ “Shall one who hates justice rule?
And will you condemn the righteous mighty One,
¹⁸ Who says to a king, ‘Worthless one,’
To nobles, ‘Wicked ones’;
¹⁹ Who shows no partiality to princes
Nor regards the rich above the poor,
For they all are the work of His hands?
