Job 34:10-20
Legacy Standard Bible
10 “Therefore, listen to me, you men with a heart of wisdom.
Far be it from God to (A)do injustice,
And from the Almighty to do wrong.
11 For He pays a man according to (B)his work,
And makes [a]him find it according to his way.
12 Truly, (C)God will not act wickedly,
And the Almighty will not pervert justice.
13 Who (D)appointed Him with authority over the earth?
And who (E)has laid on Him the whole world?
14 If He should set His heart on it,
If He should (F)gather to Himself His spirit and His breath,
15 All (G)flesh would breathe its last together,
And man would (H)return to dust.
16 “But if you have understanding, hear this;
Give ear to the sound of my speech.
17 Shall (I)one who hates justice [b]rule?
And (J)will you condemn the righteous mighty One,
18 Who says to a king, ‘Vile one,’
To nobles, ‘Wicked ones’;
19 Who shows no (K)partiality to princes
Nor recognizes the rich above the poor,
For they all are the (L)work of His hands?
20 In a moment they die, and (M)at midnight
People are shaken and pass away,
And (N)the mighty are taken away without a hand.
Job 34:10-20
New American Standard Bible 1995
10 “Therefore, listen to me, you men of understanding.
Far be it from God to (A)do wickedness,
And from the Almighty to do wrong.
11 “For He pays a man according to (B)his work,
And makes [a]him find it according to his way.
12 “Surely, (C)God will not act wickedly,
And the Almighty will not pervert justice.
13 “Who (D)gave Him authority over the earth?
And who (E)has laid on Him the whole world?
14 “If He should [b]determine to do so,
If He should (F)gather to Himself His spirit and His breath,
15 All (G)flesh would perish together,
And man would (H)return to dust.
16 “But if you have understanding, hear this;
Listen to the sound of my words.
17 “Shall (I)one who hates justice rule?
And (J)will you condemn the righteous mighty One,
18 Who says to a king, ‘Worthless one,’
To nobles, ‘Wicked ones’;
19 Who shows no (K)partiality to princes
Nor regards the rich above the poor,
For they all are the (L)work of His hands?
20 “In a moment they die, and (M)at midnight
People are shaken and pass away,
And (N)the mighty are taken away without a hand.
