Because his appetite is never satisfied,
he does not let anything he desires escape.

"Nothing is left for him to devour; that is why his prosperity does not last.

Their houses are free from fear, and the rod of God does not come on them.

His bull breeds and does not fail; his cow calves and does not miscarry.

How often is the lamp of the wicked put out?
Does disaster come on them?
Does He apportion destruction in His anger?

for what {does he care for} his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off?

Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that you are righteous? Or does it benefit him, that you make your ways perfect?

Does he reprove you because of your reverence [or] enter into judgment with you?

And you say, How does God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?

Thick clouds [are] a covering for him, so that he does not see; and he walks about on [the] dome of heaven.'

On the left hand, where he does work, but I cannot behold him: he hides himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:

But he is of one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desires, even that he does.

Why does the Almighty not reserve times for judgment?
Why do those who know Him never see His days?

From [the] city people groan, and [the] throat of [the] wounded cries for help; yet God does not {regard it as unseemly}.

He is swift on the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth; he does not behold the way of the vineyards.

Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so does the grave those who have sinned.

He evil treats the barren that bears not: and does not good to the widow.

Is there any number to his armies? and upon whom does not his light arise?

If even the moon does not shine
and the stars are not pure in His sight,

“He wraps up the waters in His clouds,
And the cloud does not burst under them.

Truly, there is no deceit in my lips, and my tongue does not say what is false.

“I hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go.
My heart does not reproach any of my days.

For what hope does the godless man have when he is cut off,
when God takes away his life?

Does God listen to his cry when distress overtakes him?

He goes to rest full of wealth, but does so for the last time: on opening his eyes, he sees it there no longer.

For it hurls at him, and does not spare, as he flees away from his hand.

"[It is] a path a bird of prey does not know and [the] black kite's eye has not seen.

A human being does not know its proper value, and it is not found in [the] land of the living.

Indeed, from where does wisdom come? And {where in the world} [is the] place of understanding?

When I cry unto thee, thou doest not hear me: and though I stand before thee, yet thou regardest me not.

"However doesn't one stretch out a hand in his fall? Or in his calamity therefore cry for help?

My heart is troubled, and doesn't rest. Days of affliction have come on me.

Doesn’t disaster come to the unjust
and misfortune to evildoers?

Does not he see my ways, and count all my steps?

Why do you strive against him, because he doesn't give account of any of his matters?

Indeed, God speaks in one [way], even in two, [yet] [someone] does not perceive it.

Look, God does all these [things] twice, three times with a person

Doesn’t the ear test words
as the palate tastes food?

Indeed, he says, 'A man does not profit when he takes delight in God.'

What's more, God truly does not act wickedly, and Shaddai does not pervert justice.

who {shows no partiality to officials} and [who] {does not take note of the noble more than of the insignificant}, for all of them [are] the work of his hands?

For he doesn't need to consider a man further, that he should go before God in judgment.

"Indeed, does anyone say to God, 'I have endured [chastisement]; I will not act corruptly [again];

Does it seem to you to be right, and righteousness before God, to say,

For you ask, “What does it profit You,
and what benefit comes to me, if I do not sin?”

If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? If thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?

If you are righteous, what do you give to him, or what does he receive from your hand?

There they cry out, but he does not answer {because of the pride of evildoers}.

"Surely God does not hear an empty plea, and Shaddai does not regard it.

But now, because his anger does not punish, and he does not acknowledge the transgression at all,

Therefore does Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplies words without knowledge.

Look, God [is] mighty but does not despise [anyone]; [he is] mighty [and] {good in understanding}.

He does not keep [the] wicked alive but grants justice [to the] afflicted.

He does not withdraw his eyes from [the] righteous, but he sets them forever with kings on the throne, and they are exalted.

“Beware that wrath does not entice you to scoffing;
And do not let the greatness of the ransom turn you aside.

Behold, God does loftily in his power. Who is a teacher like him?

After it, his voice roars; it thunders {with his majestic voice}, and he does not restrain it when his voice is heard.

"God thunders with his voice in marvelous ways; he does great things, and we cannot comprehend.

Can you spread out the skies like he does; can you cast them as one might a mirror?

[As for] Shaddai, we cannot attain him; [he is] exalted [in] power, and he does not oppress justice and abundant righteousness.

Therefore people revered him; he does not regard any {who think that they are wise}."

"In what direction does light reside, and darkness, where is its place,

How is it, the way the light is distributed, and how does the east wind spread itself on the earth?

Does the rain have a father? Or who fathers the drops of dew?

From whose womb does the ice emerge, and the frost from the sky, who gives birth to it,

It scorns [the] city's turmoil; it does not hear [the] driver's shouts.

It laughs at danger and is not dismayed, and it does not turn back from {before} [the] sword.

He swallows the ground with fierceness and rage: neither does he halt at the sound of the trumpet.

"Does [the] hawk soar by your wisdom? Does it spread its wings to [the] south?

Or does [the] eagle fly high at your command and construct its nest high?

Behold, if a river overflows, he doesn't tremble. He is confident, though the Jordan swells even to his mouth.

Any hope of capturing him proves false.
Does a person not collapse at the very sight of him?

Reaching it [with the] sword does not avail, [nor] [with the] spear, [the] dart, or [the] javelin.

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the advice of [the] wicked; nor does he stand in [the] way of sinners; nor does he sit in [the] assembly of mockers.

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law does he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper.

If he does not repent, he will sharpen his sword. He has bent his bow and he has {strung} it.

for he [who] {avenges bloodshed} remembers them. He does not forget the distressed cry of [the] afflicted.

The wicked in his pride does persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

In all his scheming,
the wicked arrogantly thinks:
“There is no accountability,
since God does not exist.”

He sits in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places does he murder the innocent: his eyes are secretly set against the poor.

He lies in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to catch the poor: he does catch the poor, when he draws him into his net.

He says to himself, "God overlooks it; he does not pay attention; he never notices."

Why does the wicked treat God with contempt? He says in his heart, "You will not call [me] to account."

For the righteous LORD loves righteousness; his countenance does behold the upright.

[The] fool says in his heart, "There is no God." They are corrupt. They do abominable deeds. There is none who does good.

All have gone astray; they are altogether corrupt. There is not one who does good; there is not even one.

He who walks blamelessly and does what is right. He who speaks honestly in his heart.

He does not slander with his tongue. He does not harm his friend, nor {bring up} a disgrace against his neighbor.

In his eyes a rejected one [is] contemptible, but he honors those who respect Yahweh. He takes an oath to [his own] injury and does not retract it.

He does not lend his money at interest, and does not take a bribe against [the] innocent. He who does these [things] will never be shaken.

Hear, Yahweh, my righteous plea; Give ear to my prayer, that doesn't go out of deceitful lips.

They cry for help, but there is no one to save them—
they cry to the Lord, but He does not answer them.

Great salvation does he give to his king; he has mercy on the king of his selection, David, and on his seed for ever.

For he does not despise nor detest the afflicted person; he does not hide his face from him, but he hears him when he cries out to him."

He who is innocent of hands and pure of heart, who does not lift up his soul to falseness, and does not swear deceitfully.

The voice of the LORD makes the hinds to calve, and strips bare the forests: and in his temple does every one speak of his glory.

Happy [is] a person to whom Yahweh does not impute iniquity and in whose spirit there is not deceit.

For the Lord's decrees are just, and everything he does is fair.

A king's salvation is not in the power of his army; a strong man does not get free by his great strength.
