Job 34:26
24 He shatters the mighty without inquiry and sets up others in their place.
25 Therefore, He recognizes their deeds; He overthrows them in the night and they are crushed.
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.
28 They caused the cry of the poor to come before Him, and He heard the outcry of the afflicted.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
