16 “Now if you have understanding, hear this; give ear to the sound of my words.
17 Can someone who hates justice govern? Will you condemn the mighty, righteous One?
18 Who says to a king, ‘Worthless man’ and to nobles, ‘Wicked men’!
19 Who shows no partiality before princes, and does not favor the rich over the poor, for they are all the work of His hands.
20 They die in a moment, at midnight, people are shaken and they pass away. The mighty are removed without a hand.
21 “For His eyes are on the ways of man; He sees all his steps.
22 There is no gloom and no deep darkness, where evildoers can hide themselves.
