"Do you really think that one who hates justice can govern? And will you declare guilty the supremely Righteous One,"
— Job 34:17, NET Bible
“Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?”
“Shall even one that hateth justice govern? And wilt thou condemn him that is righteous and mighty?— ”
“Shall even one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty?--”
“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 God were to set his heart on it, and gather in his spirit and his breath,
all flesh would perish together and human beings would return to dust.
God Is Impartial and Omniscient“If you have understanding, listen to this, hear what I have to say.
Do you really think that one who hates justice can govern? And will you declare guilty the supremely Righteous One,
who says to a king,‘Worthless man’ and to nobles,‘Wicked men,’
who shows no partiality to princes, and does not take note of the rich more than the poor, because all of them are the work of his hands?
In a moment they die, in the middle of the night, people are shaken and they pass away. The mighty are removed effortlessly.
