Job 34:10-12

Hearken to me, ye men of understanding Ye who are present, and understand these things, do you judge between Job and me. Far be it from God that he should do wickedness This I must lay down as a principle, that the righteous and holy God neither does nor can deal unjustly with Job, or with any man, as Job insinuates that God hath dealt with him. For the work of a man That is, the reward of his work; shall he render unto him, &c. Job's afflictions, though great and distressing, are not undeserved, but justly inflicted upon him, both for the original corruption of his nature, and for many actual transgressions, which are known to God, though Job, through partiality, may not see them. And Job's piety shall be recompensed, it may be, in this life, but undoubtedly in the next; and therefore piety is not unprofitable, as Job signifies. Neither will the Almighty pervert judgment As Job hath erroneously affirmed.
