Bible verse
He gives them a sense of security, but His eyes are on their ways.
Job 24:23 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 24.
19 As drought and heat consume the melting snow, so Sheol steals those who have sinned.
20 The womb forgets them; the worm feeds on them; they are remembered no more. So injustice is like a broken tree.
21 They prey on the barren and childless, and show no kindness to the widow.
22 Yet by His power, God drags away the mighty; though rising up, they have no assurance of life.
23 He gives them a sense of security, but His eyes are on their ways.
24 They are exalted for a moment, then they are gone; they are brought low and gathered up like all others; they are cut off like heads of grain.
25 If this is not so, then who can prove me a liar and reduce my words to nothing?”
KJV
[Though] it be given him [to be] in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes [are] upon their ways.
ASV
God giveth them to be in security, and they rest thereon; And his eyes are upon their ways.
ERV
God giveth them to be in security, and they rest thereon; and his eyes are upon their ways.
