Just as the impious do, he has struck them in a place where they can be seen.1
- 34:26Or, “Just as the impious do, he has struck them in plain view.” The impious strike others unjustly in plain view, for they have such influence over society that they can strike and not be held accountable themselves. But God will strike them in the same way, in plain view of the whole world.(Conte)
