Job 34:16-33 - God Is Fair
16 If you have understanding, listen to this! Pay attention to what I have to say: 17 Can one who hates justice really govern? And if God is righteous and mighty, can you condemn him? 18 Can one say to a king, "You're vile!' or to nobles, "You're wicked!'? 19 Who isn't partial to princes? Who doesn't give preference to the nobles over the poor? Nevertheless, all of them are his handiwork. 20 "They die suddenly, in the middle of the night; people suffer seizures and pass away; even valiant men can be taken away and not by human hands.
21 Yes, Job, his eyes constantly watch the behavior of human beings; he carefully observes their every step. 22 There's no such thing as darkness to him not even deep darkness that can conceal those who practice evil. 23 He won't examine mankind further, that they would go before God to judgment. 24 He shatters valiant men without a need to investigate, and he raises others in their place. 25 Thus he acknowledges their behavior, and overcomes them; when night time comes, they are crushed. 26 "He strikes the wicked among them in a place where they can be seen 27 because they've abandoned their pursuit of him and had no respect for any of his ways. 28 As a result, the cries of the poor have reached him and he has heard the cry of the afflicted. 29 "If he remains silent, who will condemn him? If he conceals his face, who can see him? He watches over both nation and individual alike, 30 to keep the godless man from reigning or laying a snare for the people."
31 "Has anyone ever really told God, "I've endured, and I won't act corruptly anymore. 32 What I don't see, instruct me! If I've done anything evil, I won't repeat it!' 33 "Should you not be paid back, since you have rejected him? You do the choosing! I won't! Tell us what you know!
