Job 34:10-11
New English Translation

God is Not Unjust

10 “Therefore, listen to me, you men of understanding.[a]
Far be it from[b] God to do wickedness,
from the Almighty to do evil.
11 For he repays a person for his work,[c]
and according to the conduct of a person,
he causes the consequences to find him.[d]
