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 because of their wickedness at a place where people can see it.

27 Because they turned from following him and didn't value all his ways,

28 causing the cry of the poor to reach him, he hears the cry of the afflicted.

29 Still, if he remains quiet, who can condemn; if he hides his face, who can see him?

30 He prevents a lawless person from ruling, from capturing people.
