Job 34:19

19 who shows no partiality to nobles, nor regards the rich more than the poor, for they are all the work of his hands?

Job 34:19 Meaning and Commentary

Job 34:19

[How much less to him] that accepteth not the persons of
princes
And indeed God is not the respecter of the persons of any, no, not of the greatest men on earth, kings and princes, ( Acts 10:34 ) ; these are alike dealt with by him as others in the dispensations of his providence; nor do they escape the marks of his displeasure, wrath and vengeance, when they sin against him:

nor regardeth the rich more than the poor?
by showing favour to them, or conniving at them,

for they [are] all the work of his hands;
both the rich and the poor; not only as creatures made by him, but as rich men and poor men; it is God that makes men rich or poor, ( 1 Samuel 2:7 ) ( Proverbs 22:9 ) ; instances follow proving this, that God is no respecter of persons on account of outward circumstances.

Job 34:19 In-Context

17 Shall one who hates justice govern? Will you condemn one who is righteous and mighty,
18 who says to a king, "You scoundrel!' and to princes, "You wicked men!';
19 who shows no partiality to nobles, nor regards the rich more than the poor, for they are all the work of his hands?
20 In a moment they die; at midnight the people are shaken and pass away, and the mighty are taken away by no human hand.
21 "For his eyes are upon the ways of mortals, and he sees all their steps.
