Job 36:5-15

5Indeed, God is mighty; and he does not despise people, he is mighty, and firm in his intent.

6He does not allow the wicked to live, but he gives justice to the poor.

7He does not take his eyes off the righteous; but with kings on the throne he seats the righteous and exalts them forever.

8But if they are bound in chains, and held captive by the cords of affliction,

9then he reveals to them what they have done, and their transgressions, that they were behaving proudly.

10And he reveals this for correction, and says that they must turn from evil.

11If they obey and serve him, they live out their days in prosperity and their years in pleasantness.

12But if they refuse to listen, they pass over the river of death, and expire without knowledge.

13The godless at heart nourish anger, they do not cry out even when he binds them.

14They die in their youth, and their life ends among the male cultic prostitutes.

15He delivers the afflicted by their afflictions, he reveals himself to them by their suffering.
