Job 34:10-20

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁰ ¶ Therefore, hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.

¹¹ For he shall pay man according to his work and cause every man to find according to his ways.

¹² Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.

¹³ Who visited the earth for him? And who set the whole world in order?

¹⁴ If he were to set his heart upon man and gather unto himself his spirit and his breath,

¹⁵ all flesh would perish together, and man would turn again unto dust.

¹⁶ ¶ If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.

¹⁷ Shall even he that hates judgment govern? And wilt thou condemn the Mighty One that is righteous?

¹⁸ Is it fit to say to the king, Thou art of Belial and to the princes, Ye are ungodly?

¹⁹ How much less to him who is not a respecter of the persons of princes, nor respects the rich more than the poor; for they all are the work of his hands.

²⁰ In a moment they shall die, and the peoples shall be troubled at midnight and shall pass away; and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
