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 Can anyone govern who hates what is right? and powerful?

18 God is the one who says to kings, 'You are worthless,' or to important people, 'You are evil.'

19 He is not nicer to princes than other people, nor kinder to rich people than poor people, because he made them all with his own hands.

20 They can die in a moment, in the middle of the night. They are struck down, and then they pass away; powerful people die without help.

21 "God watches where people go; he sees every step they take.
