Job 36:5-12
New Living Translation
5 “God is mighty, but he does not despise anyone!
He is mighty in both power and understanding.
6 He does not let the wicked live
but gives justice to the afflicted.
7 He never takes his eyes off the innocent,
but he sets them on thrones with kings
and exalts them forever.
8 If they are bound in chains
and caught up in a web of trouble,
9 he shows them the reason.
He shows them their sins of pride.
10 He gets their attention
and commands that they turn from evil.
11 “If they listen and obey God,
they will be blessed with prosperity throughout their lives.
All their years will be pleasant.
12 But if they refuse to listen to him,
they will cross over the river of death,
dying from lack of understanding.
Job 36:5-12
New American Standard Bible
5 Behold, God is mighty but does not (A)reject anyone;
He is (B)mighty in strength of understanding.
6 He does not (C)keep the wicked alive,
But gives justice to (D)the afflicted.
7 He does not (E)withdraw His eyes from the righteous,
But (F)with kings on the throne
He has seated them forever, and they are exalted.
8 And if they are bound in shackles,
And are caught in the snares of (G)misery,
9 Then He declares to them their work
And their wrongdoings, that they have (H)been arrogant.
10 (I)He opens their ears to instruction,
And (J)commands that they return from injustice.
11 If they listen and serve Him,
They will (K)end their days in prosperity,
And their years in (L)happiness.
12 But if they do not listen, they will [a]perish (M)by the sword,
And (N)die without knowledge.
