Job 34:27

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.

29 But when He remains silent, who can condemn Him? When He hides His face, who can see Him? Yet He watches over both man and nation,
