Job 36:5-12

American Standard Version

⁵ Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any:
He is mighty in strength of ^[a]understanding.
⁶ He preserveth not the life of the wicked,
But giveth to the afflicted their right.
⁷ He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous:
But with kings upon the throne
He setteth them for ever, and they are exalted.
⁸ And if they be bound in fetters,
And be taken in the cords of affliction;
⁹ Then he showeth them their work,
And their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.
¹⁰ He openeth also their ear to instruction,
And commandeth that they return from iniquity.
¹¹ If they hearken and serve him,
They shall spend their days in prosperity,
And their years in ^[b]pleasures.
¹² But if they hearken not, they shall perish by ^[c]the sword,
And they shall die without knowledge.
