Job 34:24–28

He shatters the mighty without investigation

and sets others in their place.

Thus, knowing their works,

he overturns them in the night, and they are crushed.

He strikes them for their wickedness

in a place for all to see,

because they turned aside from following him

and had no regard for any of his ways,

so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him,

and he heard the cry of the afflicted—

Without inquiry he shatters the mighty

and sets up others in their place.

Because he takes note of their deeds,

he overthrows them in the night and they are crushed.

He punishes them for their wickedness

where everyone can see them,

because they turned from following him

and had no regard for any of his ways.

They caused the cry of the poor to come before him,

so that he heard the cry of the needy.

He shatters the mighty without an investigation

and sets others in their place.

Therefore, he recognizes their deeds

and overthrows them by night, and they are crushed.

In full view of the public,

he strikes them for their wickedness,

because they turned aside from following him

and did not understand any of his ways

but caused the poor to cry out to him,

and he heard the outcry of the needy.

He brings the mighty to ruin without asking anyone,

and he sets up others in their place.

He knows what they do,

and in the night he overturns and destroys them.

He strikes them down because they are wicked,

doing it openly for all to see.

For they turned away from following him.

They have no respect for any of his ways.

They cause the poor to cry out, catching God’s attention.

He hears the cries of the needy.

He shatters the mighty without investigation,

and he sets others in their place.

Therefore he knows their works,

and he overturns them in the night

so that they are crushed.

He strikes them where the wicked stood,

where there are onlookers,

because they have turned aside from him

and have not understood any of his ways,

so that they cause the cry of distress from the helpless to come to him,

and he hears the cry of distress from the needy,

He shall break in pieces mighty men without number,

And set others in their stead.

Therefore he knoweth their works,

And he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.

He striketh them as wicked men

In the open sight of others;

Because they turned back from him,

And would not consider any of his ways:

So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him,

And he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
