Holy Scripture

Job 34:20

A church father on this verse
“Suddenly shall they die, and the people shall bow down at midnight, and pass away. However long it be before the ungodly are taken out of this life, they are taken away suddenly, and at an instant, since they know not how to foresee their end by thinking on it. That is sudden to any one, which he has not been able to…”
Gregory the Dialogist, 7th c. — Morals on the Book of Job, Book XXV

20But it shall turn out vanity to them, to cry and beseech a man; For they dealt unlawfully, the poor being turned aside from their right.

In context

18He is ungodly that says to a king, Thou art a transgressor, That says to princes, O most ungodly one.

19Such a one as would not reverence the face of an honorable man, Neither knows how to give honor to the great, So that their persons should be respected.

— Job 34:20 —

21For he surveys the works of men, And nothing of what they do has escaped him.

22Neither shall there be a place for the workers of iniquity to hide themselves.
