What does Job 36:6 mean?

God refuses to protect those who deliberately harm others, while he ensures that people who are suffering and vulnerable receive justice and fair treatment. This verse comes from Elihu's speech in Job, where he's trying to explain why suffering happens, arguing that God's actions are always righteous even when we can't see why. The core idea is comforting for those enduring hardship: God pays attention to what happens to the weak and broken, and he won't let wrongdoing go unaddressed forever.
