Giobbe 34:12

12 Sì veramente Iddio non opera empiamente, E l’Onnipotente non perverte la ragione.

Giobbe 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).

Giobbe 34:12 In-Context

10 Perciò, uomini di senno, ascoltatemi; Tolga Iddio che vi sia empietà in Dio, O perversità nell’Onnipotente.

11 Perciocchè egli rende all’uomo secondo l’opera sua, E fa trovare a ciascuno secondo la sua via.

12 Sì veramente Iddio non opera empiamente, E l’Onnipotente non perverte la ragione.

13 Chi gli ha commesso il governo della terra? E chi gli ha imposta la cura del mondo tutto intiero?

14 Se egli ponesse mente all’uomo, Egli ritrarrebbe a sè il suo alito, ed il suo soffio;
