CLV(i)
19 Who does not repute chiefs, Nor is He partial to the rich-man above the poor,For they all are the work of His hands?
20 In a moment they die; At midnight the people reel and pass away, And the sturdy are taken away by no human hand.
21 For His eyes are on the ways of a man, And He sees all his steps.
22 There is no darkness and no blackest shadow To conceal there the contrivers of lawlessness.
23 For He does not set an appointed time for a man To go before El in judgment.
24 He smashes those of abundance without investigation And installs others in their stead.
25 Wherefore, He recognizes their occupations And overturns them in a night, and they are crushed.
26 He slaps them down with the wicked, In a place where all can see,
27 Because they withdrew from following Him And did not contemplate any of His ways,
28 But they caused the cry of the poor to be brought before Him, So that He heard the cry of the humble.
29 When He is quiet, who can condemn? When He conceals His face, who can regard Him? Yet He is over a nation and over humanity alike.
