Job 22:13

And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?

Rather, And yet thou sayest, God does not concern himself with ("know") human affairs, (Psalms 73:11, "How doth God know? Is there knowledge in the Most High?")

Judge through ... cloud? - Can His judgment penetrate "through the dark cloud" to the earth?
