Job 34:14-15, 19-24

“If God should determine to do so, If He should gather to Himself [that is, withdraw from man] His [life-giving] spirit and His breath, All flesh would perish together, And man would return to dust. [Ps 104:29; Eccl 12:7]

“Who is not partial to princes, Nor does He regard the rich above the poor, For they all are the work of His hands. “In a moment they die, even at midnight The people are shaken and pass away, And the powerful are taken away without a [human] hand. ¶“For God’s eyes are on the ways of a man, And He sees all his steps. [Ps 34:15; Prov 5:21; Jer 16:17] “There is no darkness nor deep shadow Where the evildoers may hide themselves. “For He sets no appointed time for a man, That he should appear before Him in judgment. “He breaks mighty men without inquiry, And sets others in their place. [Dan 2:21]
