Job 34:28

Elihu Asserts God's Justice

²⁷ Because they turned aside from following Him,
And had no regard for any of His ways;
²⁸ So that they caused the cry of the poor to come to Him,
And that He might hear the cry of the afflicted—
²⁹ When He keeps quiet, who then can condemn?
And when He hides His face, who then can behold Him,
That is, in regard to both nation and man?—
