17. Yea, doth one hating justice govern? Or the Most Just dost thou condemn?
18. Who hath said to a king--`Worthless,' Unto princes--`Wicked?'
19. That hath not accepted the person of princes, Nor hath known the rich before the poor, For a work of His hands [are] all of them.
20. [In] a moment they die, and at midnight Shake do people, and they pass away, And they remove the mighty without hand.
21. For His eyes [are] on the ways of each, And all his steps He doth see.
22. There is no darkness nor death-shade, For workers of iniquity to be hidden there;
23. For He doth not suffer man any more, To go unto God in judgment,
24. He breaketh the mighty--no searching! And He appointeth others in their stead.
25. Therefore He knoweth their works, And He hath overturned by night, And they are bruised.
26. As wicked He hath stricken them, In the place of beholders.
