Job 34:18

who says to kings, ‘You are worthless!’ and to nobles, ‘You are wicked,’

Job 34:18 · BSB

Job 34:18 in context

The verses around it, from Job 34.

14 If He were to set His heart to it and withdraw His Spirit and breath,

15 all flesh would perish together and mankind would return to the dust.

16 If you have understanding, hear this; listen to my words.

17 Could one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn the just and mighty One,

18 who says to kings, ‘You are worthless!’ and to nobles, ‘You are wicked,’

19 who is not partial to princes and does not favor rich over poor? For they are all the work of His hands.

20 They die in an instant, in the middle of the night. The people convulse and pass away; the mighty are removed without human hand.

21 For His eyes are on the ways of a man, and He sees his every step.

22 There is no darkness or deep shadow where the workers of iniquity can hide.
