Job 34:29-31

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁹ But if God remains quiet, who can condemn him?
If he hides his face, who can observe him?
But even if he does, he still rules over both nations and individuals,
³⁰ to prevent a godless man from ruling,
so that the godless man does not lay snares for the people.
³¹ What if someone says to God,
“I have accepted my punishment.
I will not keep sinning.
