Job 24:21-23
Contemporary English Version

21 Sinners take advantage of widows
    and other helpless women.[a]
22 But God's mighty strength
    destroys those in power.
Even if they seem successful,
    they are doomed to fail.
23 God may let them feel secure,
but they are never
    out of his sight.
