Bible verse
that godless men should not rule or lay snares for the people.
Job 34:30 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 34.
26 He strikes them for their wickedness in full view,
27 because they turned aside from Him and had no regard for any of His ways.
28 They caused the cry of the poor to come before Him, and He heard the outcry of the afflicted.
29 But when He remains silent, who can condemn Him? When He hides His face, who can see Him? Yet He watches over both man and nation,
30 that godless men should not rule or lay snares for the people.
31 Suppose someone says to God, ‘I have endured my punishment; I will offend no more.
32 Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not do it again.’
33 Should God repay you on your own terms when you have disavowed His? You must choose, not I; so tell me what you know.
34 Men of understanding will declare to me, and the wise men who hear me will say:
KJV
