Job 34:25

Verse 25

γ Guided by unerring wisdom God goeth forth with the hand of an almighty one against the mighty, and suddenly crushes them in the presence of many beholders. His omniscience and his impartial love of his creatures are guarantees that HIS OMNIPOTENT POWER shall not err in the allotment of good and evil, Job 34:25-30.

In the night Sudden is his work of retribution, for he overturneth the wicked in a night. Or, night may be the grammatical object of the verb הפךְ , (compare Exodus 10:19; 1 Samuel 10:9; Job 30:15,) and be read, “He (God) turneth night;” that is, God brings on night, in the sense of great calamity.
