New Testament

Job 34:4-12 Common English Bible (CEB)

4. Let’s choose for us what’s right;let’s determine among ourselves what’s good;

5. for Job has said, "I’m innocent;God has denied my just cause;

6. because of my cause I’m thought a liar;my wound from an arrow is incurable, even though I didn’t rebel."

7. Who is a man like Job?He drinks mockery like water

8. and travels a path with wrongdoers,walking with evil persons.

9. Indeed he said, "No one is rewardedfor delighting in God."

10. Therefore, intelligent ones, hear me;far be it from God to do eviland the Almighty to sin,

11. for he repays people based on what they do,paying back everyone according to their ways.

12. Surely God doesn’t act wickedly;the Almighty doesn’t distort justice.
