14 If God decided to take away his spirit and the breath of life he gave us,
15 then everything on earth would die. We would all become dust again.
16 “If you men are wise, you will listen to what I say.
17 Can someone be a ruler if he hates justice? Job, God is not only powerful, but he is fair. Do you think you can judge him guilty?
18 God is the one who says to kings, ‘You are worthless!’ He says to leaders, ‘You are evil!’
19 He does not respect leaders more than other people. And he does not respect the rich more than the poor. God made everyone.
20 Any of us can die suddenly, in the middle of the night. Anyone can get sick and pass away. Even powerful people die for no reason we can see.
