Job 34:11-21
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 34

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. 17Shall one who hates justice rule? And will you condemn the righteous mighty One, 18Who says to a king, ‘You worthless one,’ To nobles, ‘You wicked one’; 19Who shows no partiality to the prominent, Nor regards the rich as above the poor, Since they are all the work of His hands? 20In a moment they die, and at midnight People are shaken and pass away, And the powerful are taken away without a hand. 21'For His eyes are upon the ways of a person, And He sees all his steps.
King James Version

Chapter 34

11For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
12Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
13Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?
14If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
15All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust. 16If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.
17Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?
18Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?
19How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.
20In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
21For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 34

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,
15every living thing would perish together and mankind would return to the dust. 16If you have understanding, hear this; listen to what I have to say. 17Could one who hates justice govern the world? Will you condemn the mighty Righteous One, 18who says to a king, "Worthless man!" and to nobles, "Wicked men!"? 19God is not partial to princes and does not favor the rich over the poor, for they are all the work of his hands.
20They die suddenly in the middle of the night; people shudder, then pass away. Even the mighty are removed without effort. 21For his eyes watch over a man’s ways, and he observes all his steps.
New Living Translation

Chapter 34

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.
16'Now listen to me if you are wise. Pay attention to what I say. 17Could God govern if he hated justice? Are you going to condemn the almighty judge? 18For he says to kings, ‘You are wicked,’ and to nobles, ‘You are unjust.’ 19He doesn’t care how great a person may be, and he pays no more attention to the rich than to the poor. He made them all. 20In a moment they die. In the middle of the night they pass away; the mighty are removed without human hand.
21'For God watches how people live; he sees everything they do.
English Standard Version

Chapter 34

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. 17 Shall one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty, 18who says to a king, ‘Worthless one,’ and to nobles, ‘Wicked man,’ 19who shows no partiality to princes, nor regards the rich more than the poor, for they are all the work of his hands? 20In a moment they die; at midnight the people are shaken and pass away, and the mighty are taken away by no human hand. 21"For his eyes are on the ways of a man, and he sees all his steps.
New International Version

Chapter 34

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,
15all humanity would perish together and mankind would return to the dust. 16"If you have understanding, hear this; listen to what I say. 17Can someone who hates justice govern? Will you condemn the just and mighty One? 18Is he not the One who says to kings, ‘You are worthless,’ and to nobles, ‘You are wicked,’ 19who shows no partiality to princes and does not favor the rich over the poor, for they are all the work of his hands?
20They die in an instant, in the middle of the night; the people are shaken and they pass away; the mighty are removed without human hand. 21"His eyes are on the ways of mortals; he sees their every step.
New King James Version

Chapter 34

11 For He repays man according to his work, And makes man to find a reward according to his way. 12Surely God will never do wickedly, Nor will the Almighty pervert justice. 13Who gave Him charge over the earth? Or who appointed Him over the whole world? 14If He should set His heart on it, If He should gather to Himself His Spirit and His breath, 15 All flesh would perish together, And man would return to dust. 16“If you have understanding, hear this; Listen to the sound of my words: 17 Should one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn Him who is most just? 18 Is it fitting to say to a king, ‘ You are worthless,’ And to nobles, ‘ You are wicked’? 19Yet He is not partial to princes, Nor does He regard the rich more than the poor; For they are all the work of His hands. 20In a moment they die, in the middle of the night; The people are shaken and pass away; The mighty are taken away without a hand. 21“For His eyes are on the ways of man, And He sees all his steps.
