Job 36:5-12
New King James Version
5 “Behold, God is mighty, but despises no one;
(A)He is mighty in strength [a]of understanding.
6 He does not preserve the life of the wicked,
But gives justice to the (B)oppressed.
7 (C)He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous;
But (D)they are on the throne with kings,
For He has seated them forever,
And they are exalted.
8 And (E)if they are bound in [b]fetters,
Held in the cords of affliction,
9 Then He tells them their work and their transgressions—
That they have acted [c]defiantly.
10 (F)He also opens their ear to [d]instruction,
And commands that they turn from iniquity.
11 If they obey and serve Him,
They shall (G)spend their days in prosperity,
And their years in pleasures.
12 But if they do not obey,
They shall perish by the sword,
And they shall die [e]without (H)knowledge.
Job 36:5-12
21st Century King James Version
5 “Behold, God is mighty and despiseth not any; He is mighty in strength and wisdom.
6 He preserveth not the life of the wicked, but giveth right to the poor.
7 He withdraweth not His eyes from the righteous, but with kings are they on the throne; yea, He doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.
8 And if they be bound in fetters, and be held in cords of affliction,
9 then He showeth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.
10 He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.
11 If they obey and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity and their years in pleasures.
12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
