17 Shall even one who hates justice govern?Will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty?—
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 judgement.
