Job 36:5-15

5“Behold, God is mighty, but despises no one; He is mighty in strength of understanding.

6He does not preserve the life of the wicked, But gives justice to the oppressed.

7He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous; But they are on the throne with kings, For He has seated them forever, And they are exalted.

8And if they are bound in fetters, Held in the cords of affliction,

9Then He tells them their work and their transgressions— That they have acted defiantly.

10He also opens their ear to instruction, And commands that they turn from iniquity.

11If they obey and serve Him, They shall spend their days in prosperity, And their years in pleasures.

12But if they do not obey, They shall perish by the sword, And they shall die without knowledge.

13“But the hypocrites in heart store up wrath; They do not cry for help when He binds them.

14They die in youth, And their life ends among the perverted persons.

15He delivers the poor in their affliction, And opens their ears in oppression.
