Job 36:7-12

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁸ If people are bound with chains
and trapped by the cords of affliction,
⁹ God tells them what they have done
and how arrogantly they have transgressed.
¹⁰ He opens their ears^(A) to correction
and insists they repent from iniquity.
¹¹ If they serve Him obediently,
they will end their days in prosperity
and their years in happiness.^(B)
12 But if they do not obey,
they will cross the river of death^[a]
and die without knowledge.^(C)
