New Testament

Job 36:8-16 New English Translation (NET)

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.
