Job 34:19-22 BBE
(19) [There is One] Who has no respect for rulers, and who gives no more attention to those who have wealth than to the poor, for they are all the work of his hands. (20) Suddenly they come to an end, even in the middle of the night: the blow comes on the men of wealth, and they are gone, and the strong are taken away without the hand of man. (21) For his eyes are on the ways of a man, and he sees all his steps. (22) There is no dark place, and no thick cloud, in which the workers of evil may take cover.

Job 34:19-22 NWT
19 [There is One] who has not shown partiality to princes and has not given more consideration to the noble one than to the lowly one, For all of them are the work of his hands. 20 In a moment they die, even in the middle of the night; The people shake back and forth and pass away, And powerful ones depart by no hand. 21 For his eyes are upon the ways of man, And all his steps he sees. 22 There is no darkness nor any deep shadow For those practicing what is hurtful to conceal themselves there.

Job 34:19-22 GNB
(19) He does not take the side of rulers nor favor the rich over the poor, for he created everyone. (20) We may suddenly die at night. God strikes us down and we perish; he kills the mighty with no effort at all. (21) He watches every step we take. (22) There is no darkness dark enough to hide a sinner from God.

Job 34:19-22 CEV
(19) And God created us all; he has no favorites, whether rich or poor. (20) Even powerful rulers die in the darkness of night when they least expect it, just like the rest of us. (21) God watches everything we do. (22) No evil person can hide in the deepest darkness.

Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
