19who ishows no partiality to princes,nor regards the rich jmore than the poor,
for kthey are all the work of his hands?
20In a moment lthey die;
at mmidnight the people are shaken and pass away,
and the mighty are taken away by nno human hand.
21 “For his eyes are on othe ways of a man,
and he sees all his psteps.
22There is no qgloom or rdeep darkness
where evildoers may hide themselves.
23For God ▼
▼Hebrew he
has no need to consider a man further,that he should go before God in tjudgment.
24He ushatters the mighty without investigation
and sets vothers in their place.
25Thus, knowing their works,
he woverturns them in the night, and they are crushed.
26He strikes them for their wickedness
in a place for all to see,
27because they turned aside from xfollowing him
and had no regard for any of his ways,
28so that they ycaused the cry of the poor to come to him,
and he zheard the cry of the afflicted—
29When he is quiet, who can condemn?
When he hides his face, who can behold him,
whether it be a nation or a man?—
Romans 12:19
