Job 36:5-15

5Behold, God is mighty but does not 1reject anyone; He is 2mighty in strength of understanding.6He does not 3keep the wicked alive, But gives justice to 4the afflicted.7He does not 5withdraw His eyes from the righteous, But 6with kings on the throne He has seated them forever, and they are exalted.8And if they are bound in shackles, And are caught in the snares of 7misery,9Then He declares to them their work And their wrongdoings, that they have 8been arrogant.10 9He opens their ears to instruction, And 10commands that they return from injustice.11If they listen and serve Him, They will 11end their days in prosperity, And their years in 12happiness.12But if they do not listen, they will 13perish 14by the sword, And 15die without knowledge.13But the godless in heart nurture anger; They do not call for help when He binds them.14 16They die in youth, And their life perishes among the 17cult prostitutes.15He rescues the afflicted in 18their 19misery, And 20opens their ears in time of oppression.
