Job 34:28

Elihu Asserts God's Justice

²⁷
Because they turned aside from following Him
And would not consider or show regard for any of His ways,
²⁸ 
So that they caused the cry of the poor to come to Him,
And He heard the cry of the afflicted.
²⁹
“When He keeps quiet, who then can condemn?
When He hides His face [withdrawing His favor and help], who then can behold Him [and make supplication to Him],
Whether it be a nation or a man by himself?—
