20. They die in an instant, in the middle of the night;the people are shaken and they pass away;the mighty are removed without human hand.
21. ‘His eyes are on the ways of mortals;he sees their every step.
22. There is no deep shadow, no utter darkness,where evildoers can hide.
23. God has no need to examine men further,that they should come before him for judgment.
24. Without enquiry he shatters the mightyand sets up others in their place.
25. Because he takes note of their deeds,he overthrows them in the night and they are crushed.
26. He punishes them for their wickednesswhere everyone can see them,
27. because they turned from following himand had no regard for any of his ways.
