7He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne doth he even set them for ever; and they are exalted. 8And if, bound in fetters, they be held in cords of affliction, Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions, because they have increased. 10And he openeth their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity. 11If they hearken and serve [him], they shall accomplish their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.

Commentaries on Job 36:9

If they be afflicted, it is no proof that they are hypocrites, as the friends maintain, or that God disregards them, and is indifferent whether men are good or bad, as Job asserts: God is thereby "disciplining them," and "showing them their sins," and if they bow in a right spirit under God's visiting hand, the greatest blessings ensue.Read the comment
