10 "So listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do evil, from the Almighty to do wrong.
10 Therefore hearken unto me, ye men
10 "Therefore, hear me, you men of understanding: far be it from God that he should do wickedness, and from the Almighty that he should do wrong.
10 "You're veterans in dealing with these matters; certainly we're of one mind on this. It's impossible for God to do anything evil; no way can the Mighty One do wrong.
10 "Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding: Far be it from God to do wickedness, And from the Almighty to commit iniquity.
10 "Listen to me, you who have understanding. Everyone knows that God doesn't sin! The Almighty can do no wrong.
13 Who appointed him over the earth? Who put him in charge of the whole world?
13 Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?
13 Who gave him charge over the earth, and who laid on him
13 He's the one who runs the earth! He cradles the whole world in his hand!
13 Who gave Him charge over the earth? Or who appointed Him over the whole world?
13 Did someone else put the world in his care? Who set the whole world in place?
(Read Job 34:10-15)
Elihu had showed Job, that God meant him no hurt by afflicting him, but intended his spiritual benefit. Here he shows, that God did him no wrong by afflicting him. If the former did not satisfy him, this ought to silence him. God cannot do wickedness, nor the Almighty commit wrong. If services now go unrewarded, and sins now go unpunished, yet there is a day coming, when God will fully render to every man according to his works. Further, though the believer's final condemnation is done away through the Saviour's ransom, yet he has merited worse than any outward afflictions; so that no wrong is done to him, however he may be tried.
