Job 36:7-12

7He takes care of righteous people. He gives them authority to rule like kings. He gives them honour for ever.

8People who do wrong things may suffer in prison. Chains may hold their legs so that they cannot move.

9When that happens, God shows them what they have done. He shows them their sins. They have done wrong things because they are proud.

10He tells them this to warn them. They must turn away from wicked things.

11They must obey him and agree to serve him. If they do that, they will have everything that they need. They will enjoy all the days that they live.

12But if they refuse to listen to God, they will go to their graves. They will die and they still will not understand what is right.
