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
Evangelical Heritage Version
5 Yes, God is mighty, but he does not despise people.
He is mighty and has great understanding.[a]
6 He does not keep a wicked man alive,
but he does give justice to the oppressed.
7 He does not turn his eyes away from the righteous.
He seats them on thrones with kings
and exalts them forever.
8 But if people are bound in chains,
and they are held captive by cords of affliction,
9 he declares to them what they have done—
how arrogantly they have committed rebellious deeds.
10 He opens their ears to accept discipline,[b]
and he tells them to turn back from wickedness.
11 If they listen and serve him,
they will complete their days in prosperity,
and their years will end in pleasure.
12 But if they do not listen,
they will be overwhelmed by a stream.[c]
They will breathe their last without knowledge.
