Job 34:16

Justice

14 If He were to set His heart to it and withdraw His Spirit and breath,

15 all flesh would perish together and mankind would return to the dust.

If you have understanding, hear this; listen to my words.

17 Could one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn the just and mighty One,

18 who says to kings, ‘You are worthless!’ and to nobles, ‘You are wicked,’
