Job 34:8-13
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 34
8Who goes in company with the workers of injustice, And walks with wicked people? 9For he has said, ‘It is of no use to a man When he becomes friends with God.’ 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?King James Version
9For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.
10Therefore 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.
Christian Standard Bible
9For he has said, "A man gains nothing when he becomes God’s friend."
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?
New Living Translation
Chapter 34
8He chooses evil people as companions. He spends his time with wicked men. 9He has even said, ‘Why waste time trying to please God?’
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?
English Standard Version
Chapter 34
8who travels in company with evildoers and walks with wicked men? 9For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing that he should take delight in God.’ 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?New International Version
9For he says, ‘There is no profit in trying to please God.’
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?
New King James Version
