Job 34:25
23 For God need not examine a man further or have him approach for judgment.
24 He shatters the mighty without inquiry and sets up others in their place.
Therefore, He recognizes their deeds; He overthrows them in the night and they are crushed.
26 He strikes them for their wickedness in full view,
27 because they turned aside from Him and had no regard for any of His ways.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
