"Shall even one that hateth justice govern? And wilt thou condemn him that is righteous and mighty?— "
— Job 34:17, American Standard Version
“Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?”
“Shall even one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty?--”
“Do you really think that one who hates justice can govern? And will you declare guilty the supremely Righteous One,”
“Can he be healed that loveth not judgment? and how dost thou so far condemn him that is just?”
“How may a hater of right be a ruler? and will you say that the upright Ruler of all is evil?”
“Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?”
If he set his heart upon himself, Ifhe gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
All flesh shall perish together, And man shall turn again unto dust.
If nowthou hastunderstanding, hear this: Hearken to the voice of my words.
Shall even one that hateth justice govern? And wilt thou condemn him that is righteous and mighty?—
Himthat saith to a king, Thou art vile, Orto nobles, Ye arewicked;
That respecteth not the persons of princes, Nor regardeth the rich more than the poor; For they all are the work of his hands.
In a moment they die, even at midnight; The people are shaken and pass away, And the mighty are taken away without hand.
