6. He does not allow the wicked to live,but he gives justice to the poor.
7. He does not take his eyes off the righteous;but with kings on the throne he seats the righteous and exalts them forever.
8. But if they are bound in chains,and held captive by the cords of affliction,
9. then he reveals to them what they have done,and their transgressions, that they were behaving proudly.
10. And he reveals this for correction,and says that they must turn from evil.
11. If they obey and serve him,they live out their days in prosperityand their years in pleasantness.
12. But if they refuse to listen,they pass over the river of death,and expire without knowledge.
13. The godless at heart nourish anger,they do not cry out even when he binds them.
14. They die in their youth,and their life ends among the male cultic prostitutes.
15. He delivers the afflicted by their afflictions,he reveals himself to them by their suffering.
16. And surely, he drew you from the mouth of distress,to a wide place, unrestricted,and to the comfort of your tablefilled with rich food.
17. But now you are preoccupied with the judgment due the wicked,judgment and justice take hold of you.
18. Be careful that no one entices you with riches;do not let a large bribe turn you aside.
