Job 34:28-30
Good News Translation
28 They forced the poor to cry out to God,
and he heard their calls for help.
29 If God decided to do nothing at all,
no one could criticize him.
If he hid his face, we would be helpless.
30 There would be nothing that nations could do
to keep godless oppressors from ruling them.
Job 34:28-30
New International Version
28 They caused the cry of the poor to come before him,
so that he heard the cry of the needy.(A)
29 But if he remains silent,(B) who can condemn him?(C)
If he hides his face,(D) who can see him?
Yet he is over individual and nation alike,(E)
30 to keep the godless(F) from ruling,(G)
from laying snares for the people.(H)
