Job 34:17-19
Expanded Bible
17 Can anyone govern who hates what is right?
How can you ·blame God [L condemn one] who is both ·fair [righteous] and powerful?
18 ·God [L Who…?] is the one who says to kings, ‘You are worthless,’
or to important people, ‘You are evil.’
19 He ·is not nicer to princes than other people [L shows no favoritism to princes],
nor ·kinder [L gives more recognition] to ·rich people [nobles] than poor people,
because he made them all with his own hands [Prov. 14:31; 17:5; 22:2].
Job 34:17-19
New King James Version
17 (A)Should one who hates justice govern?
Will you (B)condemn Him who is most just?
18 (C)Is it fitting to say to a king, ‘You are worthless,’
And to nobles, ‘You are wicked’?
19 Yet He (D)is not partial to princes,
Nor does He regard the rich more than the poor;
For (E)they are all the work of His hands.
