"When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? When he hides his face, who then can see him? Alike whether to a nation, or to a man,"
— Job 34:29, World English Bible
“When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:”
“When he giveth quietness, who then can condemn? And when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? Alike whether it be done unto a nation, or unto a man: ”
“But if God is quiet, who can condemn him? If he hides his face, then who can see him? Yet he is over the individual and the nation alike,”
“For when he granteth peace, who is there that can condemn? When he hideth his countenance, who is there that can behold him, whether it regard nations, or all men?”
“When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:”
He strikes them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
because they turned aside from following him, and wouldn't pay attention to any of his ways,
so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him. He heard the cry of the afflicted.
When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? When he hides his face, who then can see him? Alike whether to a nation, or to a man,
that the godless man may not reign, that there be no one to ensnare the people.
"For has any said to God, 'I am guilty, but I will not offend any more.
Teach me that which I don't see. If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more'?
