Context of Job 36:13
11If they hear and serve Him, They will end their days in prosperity And their years in pleasantness and joy. 12But if they do not hear and obey, they will die by the sword [of God’s destructive judgments] And they will die [in ignorance] without [true] knowledge. But the godless in heart store up anger [at the divine discipline]; They do not cry [to Him] for help when He binds them [with cords of affliction]. 14They die in youth, And their life ends among the cult prostitutes. 15He rescues the afflicted in their affliction, And opens their ears [so that they pay attention to His voice] in times of oppression.

Commentaries on Job 36:13
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 13But the hypocrites in heart - חנפי chanphey, the profligates, the impious, those who have neither the form nor the power of godliness. The hypocrite is he who has the form but not the power, though he wishes to be thought as inwardly righteous as he is outwardly correct; and he takes up the profession of religion only to serve secular ends. This is not the meaning of the word in the book of Job, where it frequently occurs. They cry not - "Though he binds…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 13But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath - By their continued impiety they lay the foundation for increasing and multiplied expressions of the divine displeasure. Instead of confessing their sins when they are afflicted, and seeking for pardon: instead of returning to God and becoming truly his friends, they remaian impenitent, unconverted, and are rebellious at heart.

Also, to dispose our hearts to be taught: affliction makes people willing to learn, through the grace of…Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 13-1513-15. Same sentiment as Job 36:11, 12, expanded. hypocrites--or, the ungodly [Maurer]; but "hypocrites" is perhaps a distinct class from the openly wicked (Job 36:12). heap up wrath--of God against themselves (Ro 2:5). Umbreit translates, "nourish their wrath against God," instead of "crying" unto Him. This suits well the parallelism and the Hebrew. But the English Version gives a good parallelism, "hypocrites" answering to "cry not" (Job 27:8, 10)…Read the comment
