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.

Common English Bible
Divine discipline
5 Look, God is mighty and doesn’t reject anyone;
he is mighty in strength and mind.
6 He doesn’t let the wicked live,
but grants justice to the poor.
7 He doesn’t avert his eyes from the righteous;
he seats kings on thrones forever,
and they are lifted up.
8 If they are tied with ropes,
caught in cords of affliction,
9 he informs them about their offenses
and their grave sins.
10 He opens their ears with discipline
and commands them to turn from wrong.
11 If they listen and serve,
they spend their days in plenty,
their years contentedly.
12 But if they don’t listen,
they perish by the sword,
breathe their last without understanding.
