Job 34:13-23

13 No one chose God to rule over the earth or put him in charge of the whole world.
14 If God should decide to take away life and breath,
15 then everyone would die together and turn back into dust.
16 "If you can understand, hear this; listen to what I have to say.
17 Can anyone govern who hates what is right? and powerful?
18 God is the one who says to kings, 'You are worthless,' or to important people, 'You are evil.'
19 He is not nicer to princes than other people, nor kinder to rich people than poor people, because he made them all with his own hands.
20 They can die in a moment, in the middle of the night. They are struck down, and then they pass away; powerful people die without help.
21 "God watches where people go; he sees every step they take.
22 There is no dark place or deep shadow where those who do evil can hide from him.
23 He does not set a time for people to come before him for judging.
