New King James Version

Job 34:11-17 New King James Version (NKJV)

11. For He repays man according to his work,And makes man to find a reward according to his way.

12. Surely God will never do wickedly,Nor will the Almighty pervert justice.

13. Who gave Him charge over the earth?Or who appointed Him over the whole world?

14. If 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?
