Job 36:5-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 “Surely God is mighty and does not despise any;
he is mighty in strength of understanding.(A)
6 He does not keep the wicked alive
but gives the afflicted their right.(B)
7 He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous,
but with kings on the throne
he sets them forever, and they are exalted.(C)
8 And if they are bound in fetters
and caught in the cords of affliction,
9 then he declares to them their work
and their transgressions, that they are behaving arrogantly.(D)
10 He opens their ears to instruction
and commands that they return from iniquity.(E)
11 If they listen and serve him,
they complete their days in prosperity
and their years in pleasantness.(F)
12 But if they do not listen, they shall perish by the sword
and die without knowledge.(G)
Job 36:5-12
Holman 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 afflicted.
7 He does not remove 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 insists they repent from iniquity.
11 If they serve Him obediently,
they will end their days in prosperity
and their years in happiness.(D)
12 But if they do not obey,
they will cross the river of death[b]
and die without knowledge.(E)
