Job 34:17 in Context — Job 34

15 Toda carne juntamente expiraria, e o ser humano se tornaria em pó.

16 Se pois há [em ti] entendimento, ouve isto: dá ouvidos ao som de minhas palavras.

17 Por acaso quem odeia a justiça poderá governar? E condenarás tu ao Poderoso Justo?

18 Pode, por acaso, o rei ser chamado de vil, [e] os príncipes de perversos?

19 [Quanto menos] a aquele que não faz acepção de pessoas de príncipes, nem valoriza mais o rico que o pobre! Pois todos são obras de suas mãos.
