“The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?”
Job asserts that the earth is given into the hand of the wicked and that the faces of its judges are covered, implying that the wicked control the world and that justice is obscured. The image of the judges' faces being covered suggests that righteous judgment has been hidden or made impossible. The earth belongs to the wicked, suggesting a cosmic triumph of evil.
