Study note

Job 34:10–15

The passage connects three ideas to the belief that God can do no wrong (34:10, 12):

  1. God rewards or punishes people based on their actions (34:11);

  2. As the creator, God does not have to answer to anyone (34:13).

  3. Every living being relies on God for life. God can take life away without being wrong (34:14–15; compare Romans 9:19–29).
