Job 36:5-15

God's Power and Impartial Justice

Job 36:5-15
5
"Look, God is powerful and despises no one, powerful in his strength of understanding.
6
He does not preserve the lives of the wicked, but he gives justice to the poor.
7
He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous; but when he sets kings on their throne forever, they may become proud;
8

9
he shows them the results of their doings, the crimes caused by their pride.
10
He sounds a warning in their ears and orders them to repent of their evil.
11
"If they pay attention and obey him, they spend their days in prosperity; their years pass pleasantly.
12
But if they don't pay attention, they perish by the sword and die without learning their lesson.
13
The godless in heart cherish their anger, not crying for help when he binds them.
14
Their soul perishes in their youth, and their life becomes depraved.
15
"God, with his affliction, delivers the afflicted; and he gets their attention by pressing on them.
