Job 34:10-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 34
10'Therefore, listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do evil, And from the Almighty to do wrong. 11For He repays a person for his work, And lets things happen in correspondence to a man’s behavior. 12God certainly will not act wickedly, And the Almighty will not pervert justice. 13Who gave Him authority over the earth? And who has placed the whole world on Him? 14If He were to determine to do so, If He were to gather His spirit and His breath to Himself, 15 Humanity would perish together, And mankind would return to dust. 16'But if you have understanding, hear this; Listen to the sound of my words.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 34
10Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding. It is impossible for God to do wrong, and for the Almighty to act unjustly. 11For he repays a person according to his deeds, and he gives him what his conduct deserves. 12Indeed, it is true that God does not act wickedly and the Almighty does not pervert justice. 13Who gave him authority over the earth? Who put him in charge of the entire world? 14If he put his mind to it and withdrew the spirit and breath he gave,New Living Translation
Chapter 34
10'Listen to me, you who have understanding. Everyone knows that God doesn’t sin! The Almighty can do no wrong. 11He repays people according to their deeds. He treats people as they deserve. 12Truly, God will not do wrong. The Almighty will not twist justice. 13Did someone else put the world in his care? Who set the whole world in place? 14If God were to take back his spirit and withdraw his breath, 15all life would cease, and humanity would turn again to dust.English Standard Version
Chapter 34
10"Therefore, hear me, you men of understanding: far be it from God that he should do wickedness, and from the Almighty that he should do wrong. 11For according to the work of a man he will repay him, and according to his ways he will make it befall him. 12Of a truth, God will not do wickedly, and the Almighty will not pervert justice. 13Who gave him charge over the earth, and who laid on him the whole world? 14If he should set his heart to it and gather to himself his spirit and his breath, 15all flesh would perish together, and man would return to dust. 16"If you have understanding, hear this; listen to what I say.New International Version

10"So listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do evil, from the Almighty to do wrong. 11He repays everyone for what they have done; he brings on them what their conduct deserves. 12It is unthinkable that God would do wrong, that the Almighty would pervert justice. 13Who appointed him over the earth? Who put him in charge of the whole world? 14If it were his intention and he withdrew his spirit and breath,New King James Version
