20. In a moment they shall die, and the peoples shall be troubled at midnight and shall pass away; and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
21. For his eyes are upon 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 will not lay upon man more than that which is just; that he should enter into judgment with God.
24. He shall break in pieces mighty men without number and set others in their stead.
25. Therefore, he shall cause their works to be notorious, when he shall overturn them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
26. He shall strike them as wicked men in the open sight of others
27. because thus they turned back from him and would not consider any of his ways
28. so that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he hears the cry of the afflicted.
29. When he gives rest, who then can make trouble? If he hides his face, who then can behold him? This applies to a nation and the same to a man,
30. that the hypocrite not reign, lest the people be ensnared.
31. For it is of God to say, I have forgiven, I will no longer destroy.
