ESVEnglish Standard Version

“Therefore, hear me, you men of understanding:

far be it from God that he should do wickedness,

and from the Almighty that he should do wrong.

For according to the work of a man he will repay him,

and according to his ways he will make it befall him.

Of a truth, God will not do wickedly,

and the Almighty will not pervert justice.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“So listen to me, you men of understanding.

Far be it from God to do evil,

from the Almighty to do wrong.

He repays everyone for what they have done;

he brings on them what their conduct deserves.

It is unthinkable that God would do wrong,

that the Almighty would pervert justice.

NLTNew Living Translation

“Listen to me, you who have understanding.

Everyone knows that God doesn’t sin!

The Almighty can do no wrong.

He repays people according to their deeds.

He treats people as they deserve.

Truly, God will not do wrong.

The Almighty will not twist justice.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

“Therefore, listen to me, people who have sense:

far be it from God that he should commit wickedness

and that Shaddai should do wrong.

Indeed, he will repay according to a human being’s deeds,

and according to a man’s way he will let it happen to him.

What’s more, God truly does not act wickedly,

and Shaddai does not pervert justice.

KJV 1900King James Version

Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding:

Far be it from God, that he should do wickedness;

And from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.

For the work of a man shall he render unto him,

And cause every man to find according to his ways.

Yea, surely God will not do wickedly,

Neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
