Job 34:19

19 The one who is righteous and mighty does not grant special favors to princes or prefer important people over poor people because his hands made them all.

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 Should anyone who hates justice be allowed to govern? Will you condemn the one who is righteous and mighty?

18 Should anyone [even] say to a king, 'You good-for-nothing scoundrel!' or to nobles, 'You wicked people!'

19 The one who is righteous and mighty does not grant special favors to princes or prefer important people over poor people because his hands made them all.

20 They die suddenly in the middle of the night. People have seizures and pass away. Mighty people are taken away but not by human hands.

21 God's eyes are on a person's ways. He sees all his steps.
