10“Therefore, hear me, you men of understanding:
far be it from God that he should odo wickedness,
and from the Almighty that he should do wrong.
11For according to pthe work of a man he will repay him,
and qaccording to his ways he will make it befall him.
12Of a truth, God will not do wickedly,
and rthe Almighty will not pervert justice.
13Who gave him charge over the earth,
and who slaid on him1 the whole world?
14If he should tset his heart to it
and ugather to himself his vspirit and his breath,
15all flesh would perish together,
and man would wreturn to dust.

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.
Who appointed him over the earth?
Who put him in charge of the whole world?
If it were his intention
and he withdrew his spirit and breath,
all humanity would perish together
and mankind would return to the dust.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
Therefore listen to me, you men of understanding.
It is impossible for God to do wrong,
and for the Almighty to act unjustly.
For he repays a person according to his deeds,
and he gives him what his conduct deserves.
Indeed, it is true that God does not act wickedly
and the Almighty does not pervert justice.
Who gave him authority over the earth?
Who put him in charge of the entire world?
If he put his mind to it
and withdrew the spirit and breath he gave,
every living thing would perish together
and mankind would return to the dust.

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.
Did someone else put the world in his care?
Who set the whole world in place?
If God were to take back his spirit
and withdraw his breath,
all life would cease,
and humanity would turn again to dust.

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.
Who gave him charge over the earth?
Or who laid on him the whole world?
If he should set his heart to it,
and he should gather his spirit and his breath to himself,
all flesh would perish together,
and humankind would return to dust.

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.
Who hath given him a charge over the earth?
Or who hath disposed the whole world?
If he set his heart upon man,
If he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
All flesh shall perish together,
And man shall turn again unto dust.
