Job 34:26
He strikes them for their wickedness in full view,
BSB
ASV
He striketh them as wicked men In the open sight of others;
KJV
He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
He striketh them--chasteneth. as--that is, because they are wicked. sight of others--Sinners hid themselves in darkness; therefore they are punished before all, in open day.
God is omniscient, and can discover that which is most secret. As the strongest cannot oppose his arm, so the most subtle cannot escape his eye; and therefore, if some are punished either more or less than we think they should be, instead of quarrelling with God, it becomes us to ascribe it to some secret cause known to God only.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.
