Job 36:5-12
Expanded Bible
5 “God is powerful, but he does not ·hate [disdain; reject] people;
he is strong and ·sure of what he wants to do [L powerful in understanding/heart].
6 He will not keep evil people alive,
but he gives the ·poor [afflicted] their rights.
7 He ·always watches over [L does not withhold his eye from] those who do right;
he sets them on thrones with kings
and they are ·honored [exalted] forever.
8 If people are bound in chains,
or if ·trouble [affliction], like ropes, ties them up,
9 God tells them what they have done,
that they have sinned in their pride.
10 He ·makes them listen [L opens their ear] to his ·warning [instruction; discipline]
and commands them to change from doing evil.
11 If they ·obey [or listen] and serve him,
·the rest of their lives will be successful [L their days will finish happily],
and the rest of their years will be ·happy [pleasant].
12 But if they do not listen,
they will ·die by the sword [or pass through the water channel; C reference to death],
and they will die ·without knowing why [in ignorance].
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.
