Job 36:5-12
New International Version
5 “God is mighty,(A) but despises no one;(B)
he is mighty, and firm in his purpose.(C)
6 He does not keep the wicked alive(D)
but gives the afflicted their rights.(E)
7 He does not take his eyes off the righteous;(F)
he enthrones them with kings(G)
and exalts them forever.(H)
8 But if people are bound in chains,(I)
held fast by cords of affliction,(J)
9 he tells them what they have done—
that they have sinned arrogantly.(K)
10 He makes them listen(L) to correction(M)
and commands them to repent of their evil.(N)
11 If they obey and serve him,(O)
they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity(P)
and their years in contentment.(Q)
12 But if they do not listen,
they will perish by the sword[a](R)
and die without knowledge.(S)

Job 36:5-12
Christian Standard Bible
5 Yes, God is mighty, but he despises no one;
he understands all things.[a](A)
6 He does not keep the wicked alive,(B)
but he gives justice to the oppressed.
7 He does not withdraw his gaze from the righteous,
but he seats them forever with enthroned kings,
and they are exalted.
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(C) to correction
and tells them to repent from iniquity.
11 If they listen and serve him,
they will end their days in prosperity
and their years in happiness.(D)
12 But if they do not listen,
they will cross the river of death[b]
and die without knowledge.(E)
