Job 34:16-33 - God Is Fair
16 "If thou now have understanding, hear what I say, and hearken to the voice of my words. 17 May he be made whole, that loveth no right? If thou were a very innocent man, shouldest thou then be punished? 18 For he is even the same, that knoweth the rebellious kings, and sayeth to princes, 19 'Ungodly men are ye.' He hath none respect unto the persons of the lordly, and regardeth not the rich more than the poor. For they be all the work of his hands. 20 In the twinkling of an eye shall they be slain: and at midnight, when the people and the tyrants rage, then shall they perish, and be taken away without hands.
21 And why? His eyes look upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings. 22 There is no darkness, nor thick shadow, that can hide the wicked doers from him. 23 For no man shall be suffered to go into judgment with God. 24 Many a one, yea innumerable doth he punish, and setteth others in their stead. 25 For he knoweth their evil and dark works: therefore shall they be destroyed. 26 They that were in the stead of Seers, dealt like ungodly men. 27 Therefore turned they back traitorously and unfaithfully from him, and would not receive his ways. 28 Insomuch that they have caused the voice of the poor to come unto him, and now he heareth the complaint of such as are in necessity. 29 If he deliver and grant pardon, who will judge or condemn? But if he hide away his countenance, who will turn it about again, whether it be to the people or to any man? 30 From the wickedness and sin of the people, he maketh a hypocrite to reign over them.
31 "For so much as I have begun to talk of God, I will not hinder thee; 32 If I have gone amiss, inform me: if I have done wrong, I will leave off. 33 Wilt thou not give a reasonable answer? Art thou afraid of anything, seeing thou begannest first to speak, and not I?
