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 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.
