28 so as to bring before him the cry of the needy; for he will hear the cry of the poor.

Job 34:28 Meaning and Commentary

Job 34:28

So that they cause the cry of the poor to come to him
To God; through their oppressions of the poor they are made to cry by reason of them, and who come to God with their cries, and tears, and supplications, and which enter into the ears of the Lord of hosts;

and he heareth the cry of the afflicted;
as he did the cry of the Israelites under Egyptian bondage; he is a God hearing and answering prayer, and he particularly attends to the cry of the humble and of the afflicted, and arises for their help and deliverance.

Job 34:28 In-Context

26 And he quite destroys the ungodly, for they are seen before him.
27 Because they turned aside from the law of God, and did not regard his ordinances,
28 so as to bring before him the cry of the needy; for he will hear the cry of the poor.
29 And he will give quiet, and who will condemn? and he will hide his face, and who shall see him? whether against a nation, or against a man also:
30 causing a hypocrite to be king, because of the waywardness of the people.
