Job 34:30

Elihu Asserts God's Justice

²⁹ But when God is silent, who can declare Him guilty?
When He hides His face, who can see Him?
Yet He watches over both individuals and nations,
³⁰ so that godless men should not rule
or ensnare the people. ³¹ Suppose someone says to God,
“I have endured my punishment;
I will no longer act wickedly.
