22. There is no darkness so densethat evildoers can hide in it.
23. For no one has God set a timeto come before him in judgment.
24. Without inquiry he shatters the mighty,and appoints others in their place,
25. Thus he discerns their works;overnight they are crushed.
26. Where the wicked are, he strikes them,in a place where all can see,
27. Because they turned away from himand did not understand his ways at all:
28. And made the cry of the poor reach him,so that he heard the cry of the afflicted.
