New International Version

Job 34:11-17 New International Version (NIV)

11. He repays everyone for what they have done; he brings on them what their conduct deserves.

12. It is unthinkable that God would do wrong, that the Almighty would pervert justice.

13. Who appointed him over the earth? Who put him in charge of the whole world?

14. If it were his intention and he withdrew his spirit and breath,

15. all humanity would perish together and mankind would return to the dust.

16. “If you have understanding, hear this; listen to what I say.

17. Can someone who hates justice govern? Will you condemn the just and mighty One?
