Job 36:5-12

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁵ ¶ Behold, God is mighty and does not despise; he is mighty in virtue of heart.

⁶ He shall not give life to the wicked; but to the poor he shall give their right.

⁷ He shall not withdraw his eyes from the righteous; but with kings he shall place them on the throne for ever, and they shall be exalted.

⁸ And if they were bound in fetters and captive in cords of affliction,

⁹ then he shall show them their work and that their rebellions prevailed.

¹⁰ He opens their ear to instruction and commands that they turn from iniquity.

¹¹ If they hearken and serve him, they shall spend their days in goodness and their years in delight.

¹² But if they do not hearken, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
