Job 36:5-15

5 Behold, God is mighty, and adoes not despise any;
he is bmighty in strength of understanding.
6He does not keep the wicked alive,
but gives cthe afflicted their right.
7He does not withdraw his deyes from the righteous,
but with ekings on the throne
he sets them forever, and they are fexalted.
8And if they are gbound in chains
and caught in the cords of affliction,
9then he declares to them their work
and their transgressions, that they are hbehaving arrogantly.
10He iopens their ears to instruction
and commands that they jreturn from iniquity.
11 kIf they listen and serve him,
they lcomplete their days in prosperity,
and their years in pleasantness.
12But if they do not listen, they mperish by the sword
and die nwithout knowledge.
13 “The ogodless in heart cherish anger;
they do not cry for help when he pbinds them.
14They qdie in youth,
and their life ends among the cult prostitutes.
15He delivers rthe afflicted by their affliction
and sopens their ear by adversity.
