Job 34:21

21 oculi enim eius super vias hominum et omnes gressus eorum considerat

Job 34:21 Meaning and Commentary

Job 34:21

For his eyes [are] upon the ways of man
Which denotes the omniscience of God, which reaches to every man, to every individual, and to all men in general; and to their ways, to every step taken by them, to the whole of their lives and conversations, and every action of them; to all their internal and external ways and goings; perhaps the former may be meant in this, and the latter in the following clause. This may denote all their inward thoughts, the workings of their mind, the imaginations of their heart; all their secret purposes, designs, and schemes; and all the desires and affections of their soul; and all these, whether good or bad:

and he seeth all his goings;
the whole of his walk and conversation, conduct and behaviour; all his external ways, works, and actions; and these whether of good or bad men, see ( Psalms 139:1-6 ) .

Job 34:21 In-Context

19 qui non accipit personas principum nec cognovit tyrannum cum disceptaret contra pauperem opus enim manuum eius sunt universi
20 subito morientur et in media nocte turbabuntur populi et pertransibunt et auferent violentum absque manu
21 oculi enim eius super vias hominum et omnes gressus eorum considerat
22 non sunt tenebrae et non est umbra mortis ut abscondantur ibi qui operantur iniquitatem
23 neque enim ultra in hominis potestate est ut veniat ad Deum in iudicium
