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 as wicked men In the open sight of others,

27 Because they turned back from Him, And would not consider any of His ways,

28 So that they caused the cry of the poor to come to Him; For He hears the cry of the afflicted.

29 When He gives quietness, who then can make trouble? And when He hides His face, who then can see Him, Whether it is against a nation or a man alone?--

30 That the hypocrite should not reign, Lest the people be ensnared.
