God's Power and Impartial Justice

Job 36:5-15

Indeed, God is mighty, but He despises no one; He is mighty in strength of understanding.

He does not keep the wicked alive, but He grants justice to the afflicted.

He does not take His eyes off the righteous, but He enthrones them with kings and exalts them forever.

And if men are bound with chains, caught in cords of affliction,

then He tells them their deeds and how arrogantly they have transgressed.

He opens their ears to correction and commands that they turn from iniquity.

If they obey and serve Him, then they end their days in prosperity and their years in happiness.

But if they do not obey, then they perish by the sword and die without knowledge.

The godless in heart harbor resentment; even when He binds them, they do not cry for help.

They die in their youth, among the male shrine prostitutes.

God rescues the afflicted by their affliction and opens their ears in oppression.
