Job 24:12 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

12The groans of the dying rise from the city,

and the souls of the wounded cry out for help.

But God charges no one with wrongdoing.

12“From the city people groan,

And the souls of the wounded cry for help;

Yet God does not pay attention to the offensiveness.

12From the city men groan,

And the souls of the wounded cry out;

Yet God does not pay attention to folly.

12“From the [populous and crowded] city men groan,

And the souls of the wounded cry out for help;

Yet God [seemingly] does not pay attention to the wrong [done to them].

12From the city, men groan,

and the souls of the wounded cry out,

yet God charges no one with wrongdoing.

12The groans of those who are dying are heard from the city.

Those who are wounded cry out for help.

But God doesn’t charge anyone with doing what is wrong.
