28 The cry of the poor comes to God; he hears the cry of the needy.

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 He punishes them for the evil they do so that everyone else can watch,

27 because they stopped following God and did not care about any of his ways.

28 The cry of the poor comes to God; he hears the cry of the needy.

29 But if God keeps quiet, who can blame him? If he hides his face, who can see him? God still rules over both nations and persons alike.

30 He keeps the wicked from ruling and from trapping others.
