New Testament

Job 34:8-15 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

8. He's a companion of those who do evil. He spends his time with sinful people.

9. He asks, 'What good is it to try to please God?'

10. "So listen to me, you men who have understanding. God would never do what is evil. The Mighty One would never do what is wrong.

11. He pays a man back for what he's done. He gives him exactly what he should get.

12. It isn't possible for God to do wrong. The Mighty One would never treat people unfairly.

13. Who appointed him to rule over the earth? Who put him in charge of the whole world?

14. If he really wanted to, he could hold back his spirit and breath.

15. Then everyone would die together. They would return to the dust.
