Job 34:16-33 - God Is Fair

16 If now understanding, hear this: give ear to the voice of my words. 17 Also shall he hating judgment, rule? and if thou wilt condemn the just mighty one? 18 Saying to the king, Wickedness; (Belial) to nobles, Injustice. 19 Who accepted not the face of chiefs, and looked not upon the rich one before the poor: for his hand made all of them. 20 In a moment shall they die, and the middle of the night shall the people be moved and pass away: and the mighty shall be removed with not a hand.

21 For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he will see all his steps. 22 Not darkness and not the shadow of death for those working iniquity to hide there. 23 For he will not yet set upon man to go to God in judgment 24 He shall break in pieces the mighty, not searching out, and he will set others in their stead. 25 For this he will know their work, and he turned the night, and they will be crushed. 26 He struck them for the unjust in the place of those seeing; 27 Who therefore turned away from after him, and they consider not all his ways, 28 To cause the cry of the poor one to come to him, and he will hear the cry of the humble. 29 And he will give quiet, and who shall disturb? and he will hide the face, and who shall look upon him? and against a nation and against man wholly: 30 From the reigning of the profane man from the people being snared.

31 For he said to God, I was lifted up, I will pervert no more. 32 Besides I shall see thou wilt teach it to me: if I did iniquity, I will not add. 33 Is it with thee? he will requite it, if thou didst refuse, if thou shalt choose, and not I: and what thou knewest, speak.
