Job 36:7-16
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 36
7He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous, But with kings on the throne He has seated them forever, and they are exalted. 8And if they are bound in shackles, And are caught in the snares of misery, 9Then He declares to them their work And their wrongdoings, that they have been arrogant. 10He opens their ears to instruction, And commands that they return from injustice. 11If they listen and serve Him, They will end their days in prosperity, And their years in happiness. 12But if they do not listen, they will perish by the sword, And die without knowledge. 13But the godless in heart nurture anger; They do not call for help when He binds them. 14 They die in youth, And their life perishes among the cult prostitutes. 15He rescues the afflicted in their misery, And opens their ears in time of oppression. 16Then indeed, He induced you away from the mouth of distress, And instead of it, a broad place with no constraint; And your table was full of rich food.King James Version

Chapter 36
7He does not withdraw his gaze from the righteous, but he seats them forever with enthroned kings, and they are exalted. 8If people are bound with chains and trapped by the cords of affliction, 9God tells them what they have done and how arrogantly they have transgressed. 10He opens their ears to correction and tells them to repent from iniquity. 11If they listen and serve him, they will end their days in prosperity and their years in happiness.New Living Translation
Chapter 36
7He never takes his eyes off the innocent, but he sets them on thrones with kings and exalts them forever. 8If they are bound in chains and caught up in a web of trouble, 9he shows them the reason. He shows them their sins of pride. 10He gets their attention and commands that they turn from evil.
11'If they listen and obey God, they will be blessed with prosperity throughout their lives. All their years will be pleasant.
12But if they refuse to listen to him, they will cross over the river of death, dying from lack of understanding.
13For the godless are full of resentment. Even when he punishes them, they refuse to cry out to him for help.
14They die when they are young, after wasting their lives in immoral living.
15But by means of their suffering, he rescues those who suffer. For he gets their attention through adversity.

Chapter 36
7He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne he sets them forever, and they are exalted. 8And if they are bound in chains and caught in the cords of affliction, 9then he declares to them their work and their transgressions, that they are behaving arrogantly. 10He opens their ears to instruction and commands that they return from iniquity. 11 If they listen and serve him, they complete their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasantness. 12But if they do not listen, they perish by the sword and die without knowledge. 13"The godless in heart cherish anger; they do not cry for help when he binds them. 14They die in youth, and their life ends among the cult prostitutes. 15He delivers the afflicted by their affliction and opens their ear by adversity. 16He also allured you out of distress into a broad place where there was no cramping, and what was set on your table was full of fatness.New International Version
Chapter 36
7He does not take his eyes off the righteous; he enthrones them with kings and exalts them forever. 8But if people are bound in chains, held fast by cords of affliction, 9he tells them what they have done— that they have sinned arrogantly. 10He makes them listen to correction and commands them to repent of their evil. 11If they obey and serve him, they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity and their years in contentment.New King James Version
