22 There is no place dark enough for evil people to hide from God.
23 God does not need to set a time for people to come before him and be judged.
24 He does not have to ask questions when people do wrong, even if they are powerful leaders. He simply destroys them and chooses others to take their place.
25 When he learns what people have done, he defeats them, and overnight they are gone.
26 He will punish them for the evil they have done, and he will do it where everyone can see.
27 He will do this because they rebelled against him and ignored what he wanted.
28 They hurt the poor and made them cry to God for help. And he hears their cry!
