Job 34:10-20 (Listen)

• Job 33
• Job 34
• Job 35

10 “Therefore, hear me, you men of understanding:

far be it from God that he should odo wickedness,

and from the Almighty that he should do wrong.

11 For according to pthe work of a man he will repay him,

and qaccording to his ways he will make it befall him.

12 Of a truth, God will not do wickedly,

and rthe Almighty will not pervert justice.

13 Who gave him charge over the earth,

and who slaid on him1 the whole world?

14 If he should tset his heart to it

and ugather to himself his vspirit and his breath,

15 all flesh would perish together,

and man would wreturn to dust.

16 “If you have understanding, hear this;

listen to what I say.

17 xShall one who hates justice govern?

Will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty,

18 who ysays to a king, ‘Worthless one,’

and to nobles, ‘Wicked man,’

19 who zshows no partiality to princes,

nor regards the rich amore than the poor,

for bthey are all the work of his hands?

20 In a moment cthey die;

at dmidnight the people are shaken and pass away,

and the mighty are taken away by eno human hand.
