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
Lexham English Bible
5 Look, God is mighty but[a] does not despise anyone;
he is mighty and good in understanding.[b]
6 He does not keep the wicked alive
but[c] grants justice to the afflicted.
7 He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous,
but[d] he sets them forever with kings on the throne, and they are exalted.
8 “And if they are tied up with fetters,
if they are caught in the cords of misery,
9 then[e] he declares their work to them,
and their transgressions, that they are behaving arrogantly.
10 So[f] he opens their ear to the discipline,
and he commands that they return from mischief.
11 If they listen and serve him,
they complete their days in prosperity and their years in pleasantness.
12 But[g] if they do not listen, they perish by the sword,
and they pass away without knowledge.
