Job 34:20

Elihu Asserts God's Justice

¹⁹ God is not partial to princes
and does not favor the rich over the poor,
for they are all the work of His hands.
²⁰ They die suddenly in the middle of the night;
people shudder, then pass away.
Even the mighty are removed without effort. ²¹ For His eyes watch over a man’s ways,
and He observes all his steps.
