Job 34:11-17 New Century Version (NCV)

11. God pays people back for what they have doneand gives them what their actions deserve.

12. Truly God will never do wrong;the Almighty will never twist what is right.

13. No one chose God to rule over the earthor put him in charge of the whole world.

14. If God should decideto take away life and breath,

15. then everyone would die togetherand turn back into dust.

16. “If you can understand, hear this;listen to what I have to say.

17. Can anyone govern who hates what is right?How can you blame God who is both fair and powerful?
