Job 34:12

12 ¡Ni pensar que Dios cometa injusticias!¡El Todopoderoso no pervierte el derecho!

Job 34:12 Meaning and Commentary

Job 34:12

Yea, surely God will not do wickedly
This truth is repeated and affirmed in the strongest manner; or "will not condemn", as the Vulgate Latin version, and so the Targum, that is, he will not condemn the righteous; for, though he may afflict them, which is done that they may not be condemned with the world, he will not condemn them; for there is no condemnation to them that are in Christ; his righteousness, by which they are justified, secures them from all condemnation;

neither will the Almighty pervert judgment:
pronounce a wrong sentence, decline the execution of justice, swerve from the rule of it, or do a wrong thing; for he punishes wherever he finds it, either in the sinner or his surety; and his punishing it in his Son, as the surety of his people, is the strongest proof of his punitive justice that can be given: nor does he neglect to chastise his people for sin, though satisfied for; so far is he from conniving at sin, and still further from committing it; see (See Gill on Job 8:2).

Job 34:12 In-Context

10 »Escúchenme, hombres entendidos:¡Es inconcebible que Dios haga lo malo,que el Todopoderoso cometa injusticias!
11 Dios paga al hombre según sus obras;lo trata como se merece.
12 ¡Ni pensar que Dios cometa injusticias!¡El Todopoderoso no pervierte el derecho!
13 ¿Quién le dio poder sobre la tierra?¿Quién lo puso a cargo de todo el mundo?
14 Si pensara en retirarnos su espíritu,en quitarnos su hálito de vida,
