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?

Does it delight the Almighty if you are righteous?
Does He profit if you perfect your behavior?

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

“You say, ‘What does God know [about me]?
Can He judge through the thick darkness?

‘Thick clouds are a hiding place for Him, so that He cannot see,
And He walks on the vault (circle) of the heavens.’

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 unique and unchangeable, and who can turn Him?
And what His soul desires, that He does.

“Why does the Almighty not set seasons for judgment?
Why do those who know Him not see His days [for punishment of the wicked]?

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 Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) [consume] those who have sinned.

“He preys on the barren (childless) woman
And does no good for the widow.

“Is there any number to His [vast celestial] armies?
And upon whom does His light not rise?

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

By him the waters are shut up in his thick clouds, and the cloud does not give way under them.

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

“I hold fast my uprightness and my right standing with God and I will not let them go;
My heart does not reproach me for 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 lies down rich, but never will again;
He opens his eyes, and it is gone.

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.

“From where then does wisdom come?
And where 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, does not one falling in a heap of ruins stretch out his hand?
Or in his disaster [will he not] therefore cry out for help?

“I am seething within and my heart is troubled and cannot rest;
Days of affliction come to meet me.

“Does not tragedy fall [justly] on the unjust
And disaster to those who work wickedness?

“Does not God see my ways
And count all my steps?

“Why do you complain against Him?
That He does not answer [you with] all His doings.

“For God speaks once,
And even twice, yet no one notices it [including you, Job].

[Elihu comments,] “Behold, God does all these things twice, yes, three times, with a man,

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 is not partial to princes,
Nor does He regard the rich above the poor,
For they all are the work of His hands.

God does not need to examine a person further,
that one should approach Him in court.

"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? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?

“If you are righteous, what do you give God,
Or what does He receive from your hand?

“The people cry out, but He does not answer
Because of the pride of evil men.

"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 prolong the life of the wicked,
But gives the afflicted their justice.

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 is exalted in His power;
Who is a ruler or 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 marvelously with His voice;
He does great things which we cannot comprehend.

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

“The Almighty—we cannot find Him;
He is exalted in power
And He will not do violence to [nor disregard] justice and abundant righteousness.

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

"Where is the road to where the light lives? Or where does the darkness live?

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?
Who fathered 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.

“He laughs at fear and is not dismayed;
And [in battle] he does not turn back from the sword.

He eats up the ground with fierceness and rage, neither does he stand still at the sound of the trumpet.

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

“Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up
And makes his nest on high [in an inaccessible place]?

“If a river rages and overflows, he does not tremble;
He is confident, though the Jordan [River] swells and rushes against his mouth.

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

“The sword that reaches him cannot avail,
Nor [does] 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 will be like a tree firmly planted [and fed] by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season;
Its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers [and comes to maturity].

If a man does not repent, God will sharpen His sword;
He has strung and bent His [mighty] bow and made it ready.

For He who avenges blood [unjustly shed] remembers them (His people);
He does not forget the cry of the afflicted and abused.

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 has the wicked spurned and shown disrespect to God?
He has said to himself, “You will not require me to account.”

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

The [spiritually ignorant] fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, they have committed repulsive and unspeakable deeds;
There is no one who does good.

They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt;
There is no one who does good, 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,
Nor does evil to his neighbor,
Nor takes up a reproach against his friend;

In his eyes an evil person is despised,
But he honors those who fear the Lord [and obediently worship Him with awe-inspired reverence and submissive wonder].
He keeps his word even to his own disadvantage and does not change it [for his own benefit];

He does not put out his money at interest [to a fellow Israelite],
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.
