Job 34:29-31

Good News Translation

²⁹ If God decided to do nothing at all,
    no one could criticize him.
If he hid his face, we would be helpless.
³⁰ There would be nothing that nations could do
    to keep godless oppressors from ruling them.

³¹ Job, have you confessed your sins to God
    and promised not to sin again?
