When He hides His face, who can behold Him? Yet He watches over both nation and man alike. 30 He prevents godless men from ruling and laying snares for the people. 31 Suppose someone says to God, 'I have borne punishment; I will not offend anymore.' 32 'Teach me what I cannot see; if I have done wrong, I will not do it again.' 33 Should God repay you according to your terms, because you reject His judgment? You must choose, not I; so tell me what you understand.
