Job 34:13-33

13Who gave him charge over the earth,
and who alaid on him
Hebrew lacks  on him
the whole world?
14If he should cset his heart to it
and dgather to himself his espirit and his breath,
15all flesh would perish together,
and man would freturn to dust.
16 If you have understanding, hear this;
listen to what I say.
17 gShall one who hates justice govern?
Will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty,
18who hsays to a king, ‘Worthless one,’
and to nobles, ‘Wicked man,’
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?—
30that a godless man should not reign,
that he should not ensnare the people.
31 “For has anyone said to God,
‘I have borne punishment; I will not offend any more;
32 aateach me what I do not see;
if I have done iniquity, I will do it no more’?
33Will he then make repayment to suit you,
because you reject it?
For you must choose, and not I;
therefore abdeclare what you know.

Isaiah 40:13-14

13 adWho has measured
Or  has directed
the Spirit of the Lord,
or what man shows him his counsel?
14Whom did he consult,
and who made him understand?
afWho taught him the path of justice,
and taught him knowledge,
and showed him the way of understanding?
