NET Bible
"But if God is quiet, who can condemn him? If he hides his face, then who can see him? Yet he is over the individual and the nation alike,"
— Job 34:29, NET Bible
“When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:”
“When he giveth quietness, who then can condemn? And when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? Alike whether it be done unto a nation, or unto a man: ”
“When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? When he hides his face, who then can see him? Alike whether to a nation, or to a man,”
“For when he granteth peace, who is there that can condemn? When he hideth his countenance, who is there that can behold him, whether it regard nations, or all men?”
“When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:”
He strikes them for their wickedness, in a place where people can see,
because they have turned away from following him, and have not understood any of his ways,
so that they caused the cry of the poor to come before him, so that he hears the cry of the needy.
But if God is quiet, who can condemn him? If he hides his face, then who can see him? Yet he is over the individual and the nation alike,
so that the godless man should not rule, and not lay snares for the people.
Job Is Foolish to Rebel“Has anyone said to God,‘I have endured chastisement, but I will not act wrongly any more.
Teach me what I cannot see. If I have done evil, I will do so no more.’
