Context of Job 36:9
7He does not take His eyes from the righteous, but enthrones them with kings and exalts them forever. 8But if they are bound in chains, and held captive by cords of affliction, then He declares to them their deed that they have transgressed arrogantly. 10And He opens their ear to instruction, and commands that they turn from evil. 11If they obey and serve, they will end their days in prosperity, and their years in happiness.

Commentaries on Job 36:9
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 9He showeth them their work - He shows them the exceeding sinfulness of sin.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 8-108-10. 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
