16 "If now you have understanding, hear this. Listen to the voice of my words.
17 Shall even one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty?--
18 Who says to a king, `Vile!` Or to nobles, `Wicked!`
19 Who doesn`t respect the persons of princes, Nor regards the rich more than the poor; For they all are the work of his hands.
20 In a moment they die, even at midnight; The people are shaken and pass away, The mighty are taken away without hand.
21 "For his eyes are on the ways of a man, He sees all his goings.
22 There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
