Job 34:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 Therefore, you that have understanding, hear me:
far be it from God to do wickedness;
far from the Almighty to do wrong!(A)
11 Rather, he requites mortals for their conduct,
and brings home to them their way of life.(B)
12 Surely, God cannot act wickedly,
the Almighty cannot pervert justice.(C)
Job 34:10-12
King James Version
10 Therefore 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.
11 For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
12 Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.

and he gives him what his conduct deserves.[a]
12 Indeed, it is true that God does not act wickedly
and the Almighty does not pervert justice.(C)
