Job 36:5-12
New International Version
5 “God is mighty,(A) but despises no one;(B)
he is mighty, and firm in his purpose.(C)
6 He does not keep the wicked alive(D)
but gives the afflicted their rights.(E)
7 He does not take his eyes off the righteous;(F)
he enthrones them with kings(G)
and exalts them forever.(H)
8 But if people are bound in chains,(I)
held fast by cords of affliction,(J)
9 he tells them what they have done—
that they have sinned arrogantly.(K)
10 He makes them listen(L) to correction(M)
and commands them to repent of their evil.(N)
11 If they obey and serve him,(O)
they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity(P)
and their years in contentment.(Q)
12 But if they do not listen,
they will perish by the sword[a](R)
and die without knowledge.(S)

New Living Translation
5 “God is mighty, but he does not despise anyone!
He is mighty in both power and understanding.
6 He does not let the wicked live
but gives justice to the afflicted.
7 He never takes his eyes off the innocent,
but he sets them on thrones with kings
and exalts them forever.
8 If they are bound in chains
and caught up in a web of trouble,
9 he shows them the reason.
He shows them their sins of pride.
10 He gets their attention
and commands that they turn from evil.
11 “If they listen and obey God,
they will be blessed with prosperity throughout their lives.
All their years will be pleasant.
12 But if they refuse to listen to him,
they will cross over the river of death,
dying from lack of understanding.
