If it is not he, then who is it?

and God blinds the eyes of the judges.

If he’s not the one who does it, who is?

He covers the faces of its judges.

If it is not He, who else could it be?

24 When the land falls into the hands of evil people,

he covers the judges’ faces so they can’t see it.

If it is not God who does this, then who is it?

24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked;

If it be not he, who then is it?

24 The earth is handed over to the wicked;

He blindfolds its judges.

If it isn’t He, then who is it?

if it is not he, who then is it?

If he isn’t the one doing it, who is?
