Job 36:5-15

5“God is mighty, but despises no one; he is mighty, and firm in his purpose.

6He does not keep the wicked alive but gives the afflicted their rights.

7He does not take his eyes off the righteous; he enthrones them with kings and exalts them forever.

8But if people are bound in chains, held fast by cords of affliction,

9he tells them what they have done— that they have sinned arrogantly.

10He makes them listen to correction and commands them to repent of their evil.

11If they obey and serve him, they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity and their years in contentment.

12But if they do not listen, they will perish by the sword Or will cross the river and die without knowledge.

13“The godless in heart harbor resentment; even when he fetters them, they do not cry for help.

14They die in their youth, among male prostitutes of the shrines.

15But those who suffer he delivers in their suffering; he speaks to them in their affliction.
