Job 36:5-12
Lexham English Bible
5 Look, God is mighty but[a] does not despise anyone;
he is mighty and good in understanding.[b]
6 He does not keep the wicked alive
but[c] grants justice to the afflicted.
7 He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous,
but[d] he sets them forever with kings on the throne, and they are exalted.
8 “And if they are tied up with fetters,
if they are caught in the cords of misery,
9 then[e] he declares their work to them,
and their transgressions, that they are behaving arrogantly.
10 So[f] he opens their ear to the discipline,
and he commands that they return from mischief.
11 If they listen and serve him,
they complete their days in prosperity and their years in pleasantness.
12 But[g] if they do not listen, they perish by the sword,
and they pass away without knowledge.
