18 Who says to a king, ‘Vile!’ or to nobles, ‘Wicked!’?
19 Who doesn’t respect the persons of princes, nor respects the rich more than the poor; for they all are the work of his hands.
20 In a moment they die, even at midnight. The people are shaken and pass away. The mighty are taken away without a hand.
21 “For his eyes are on the ways of a man. He sees all his goings.
22 There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
23 For he doesn’t need to consider a man further, that he should go before God in judgment.
24 He breaks in pieces mighty men in ways past finding out, and sets others in their place.
