Job 34:23

For he will not lay upon man more than right -Very various translations have been given of this verse. According to our common version, it means that God will not deal with man in such a manner as to give him just reason for calling in question the rectitude of the divine dealings. He shall in no case receive more than his sins deserve, so as to give him cause for complaint. This is undoubtedly a correct sentiment; but it may be doubted whether it is the sense conveyed by the original. Umbreit renders it: Denn er braucht auf einem Mann nicht lang zu achten Um ihm vor Gott in das Gericht zn ziehen.
