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;
25. Since he knoweth their actions; and he overthroweth them in the night, and they are crushed.
26. He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others,
27. Because they have turned back from him, and would consider none of his ways;
28. So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
29. When he giveth quietness, who then will disturb? and when he hideth his face, who shall behold him? and this towards a nation, or towards a man alike;
30. That the ungodly man reign not, that the people be not ensnared.
31. For hath he said unto ·God I bear chastisement, I will not offend;
32. What I see not, teach thou me; if I have done wrong, I will do so no more?
33. Shall he recompense according to thy mind? for thou hast refused his judgment; for thou so choosest, and not I; speak then what thou knowest.
34. Men of understanding will say to me, and a wise man who heareth me:
35. Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were not with intelligence.
