21 “His eyes are on the ways of mortals;

he sees their every step.

22 There is no deep shadow, no utter darkness,

where evildoers can hide.

23 God has no need to examine people further,

that they should come before him for judgment.

24 Without inquiry he shatters the mighty

and sets up others in their place.

21 For his eyes are upon the ways of man,

And he seeth all his goings.

22 There is no darkness, nor shadow of death,

Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

23 For he will not lay upon man more than right;

That he should enter into judgment with God.

24 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number,

And set others in their stead.

21 “For God watches how people live;

he sees everything they do.

22 No darkness is thick enough

to hide the wicked from his eyes.

23 We don’t set the time

when we will come before God in judgment.

24 He brings the mighty to ruin without asking anyone,

and he sets up others in their place.

21 “For His eyes are on the ways of man,

And He sees all his steps.

22 There is no darkness nor shadow of death

Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

23 For He need not further consider a man,

That he should go before God in judgment.

24 He breaks in pieces mighty men without inquiry,

And sets others in their place.

21 “God watches where people go;

he sees every step they take.

22 There is no dark place or deep shadow

where those who do evil can hide from him.

23 He does not set a time

for people to come before him for judging.

24 Without asking questions, God breaks powerful people into pieces

and puts others in their place.

21 For his eyes are upon the ways of a man,

And he seeth all his goings.

22 There is no darkness, nor thick gloom,

Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

23 For he needeth not further to consider a man,

That he should go before God in judgment.

24 He breaketh in pieces mighty men in ways past finding out,

And setteth others in their stead.

21 For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his steps. 22 There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. 23 For he doth not long consider a man, to bring him before •God in judgment. 24 He breaketh in pieces mighty men without inquiry, and setteth others in their stead;

21 God’s eyes are on a person’s ways. 

He sees all his steps. 

22 There’s no darkness or deep shadow 

where troublemakers can hide. 

23 He doesn’t have to set a time for a person 

in order to bring him to divine judgment. 

24 He breaks mighty people into pieces without examining them 

and puts others in their places. 

21 For His eyes watch over a man’s ways,

and He observes all his steps.

22 There is no darkness, no deep darkness,

where evildoers can hide themselves.

23 God does not need to examine a person further,

that one should approach Him in court.

24 He shatters the mighty without an investigation

and sets others in their place.

21 “For his eyes are upon the ways of mortals,

and he sees all their steps.

22 There is no gloom or deep darkness

where evildoers may hide themselves.

23 For he has not appointed a time for anyone

to go before God in judgment.

24 He shatters the mighty without investigation,

and sets others in their place.

21 “Indeed, his eyes are upon the ways of man,

and he sees all his steps.

22 There is no darkness, and there is no deep shadow

where instigators of mischief might hide themselves.

23 Indeed, he has not yet appointed a time for man

to go to God in the judgment.

24 He shatters the mighty without investigation,

and he sets others in their place.

21 “His eyes see how people live.

He watches every step they take.

22 There isn’t a dark place or deep shadow

where those who do what is evil can hide.

23 God doesn’t need to bring charges against men.

He knows they are guilty.

So he doesn’t need to have them appear in his court to be judged.

24 He destroys the mighty without asking them questions in court.

Then he sets others up in their places.

21 “For His eyes are upon the ways of a man,

And He sees all his steps.

22 “There is no darkness or deep shadow

Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

23 “For He does not need to consider a man further,

That he should go before God in judgment.

24 “He breaks in pieces mighty men without inquiry,

And sets others in their place.
