6 No one from the east or the west

or from the desert can exalt themselves.

7 It is God who judges:

He brings one down, he exalts another.

6 For promotion cometh neither from the east,

Nor from the west, nor from the south.

7 But God is the judge:

He putteth down one, and setteth up another.

6 For no one on earth—from east or west,

or even from the wilderness—

should raise a defiant fist.

7 It is God alone who judges;

he decides who will rise and who will fall.

6 For exaltation comes neither from the east

Nor from the west nor from the south.

7 But God is the Judge:

He puts down one,

And exalts another.

6 No one from the east or the west

or the desert can judge you.

7 God is the judge;

he judges one person as guilty and another as innocent.

6 For neither from the east, nor from the west,

Nor yet from the south, cometh lifting up.

7 But God is the judge:

He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.

6 For not from the east nor from the west, nor yet from the south doth exaltation come: 7 For God is the judge; he putteth down one and exalteth another.

6 The ⸤authority⸥ to reward someone does not ⸤come⸥ 

from the east, 

from the west, 

or ⸤even⸥ from the wilderness. 

7 God alone is the judge. 

He punishes one person and rewards another. 

6 Exaltation does not come

from the east, the west, or the desert,

7 for God is the Judge:

He brings down one and exalts another.

6 For not from the east or from the west

and not from the wilderness comes lifting up;

7 but it is God who executes judgment,

putting down one and lifting up another.

6 For it is not from the east or the west

and not from the south that lifting up comes,

7 rather God is the judge;

one he brings low, and another he lifts up.

6 No one from east or west or north or south

can act as judge.

7 God is the One who judges.

He says to one person, “You are guilty.”

To another he says, “You are not guilty.”

6 For not from the east, nor from the west,

Nor from the desert comes exaltation;

7 But God is the Judge;

He puts down one and exalts another.
