Charles Spurgeon Commentary Job 34:24-28

"He breaketh in pieces mighty men [in ways] past finding out, And setteth others in their stead. Therefore he taketh knowledge of their works; And he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed. He striketh them as wicked men In the open sight of others; Because they turned aside from following him, And would not have regard in any of his ways: So that they caused the cry of the poor to come unto him, And he heard the cry of the afflicted." — Job 34:24-28 (ASV)

It is a dreadful thing for princes and great men when the poor begin to cry to God against them. God will soon take up that quarrel; for, while the cries of mere politicians and partisans are unheeded by him, the cry of the afflicted always commands his attention, and he will, in due time, rectify all that is wrong.
