7. He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous;But they are on the throne with kings,For He has seated them forever,And they are exalted.
8. And if they are bound in fetters,Held in the cords of affliction,
9. Then He tells them their work and their transgressions—That they have acted defiantly.
10. He also opens their ear to instruction,And commands that they turn from iniquity.
11. If they obey and serve Him,They shall spend their days in prosperity,And their years in pleasures.
12. But if they do not obey,They shall perish by the sword,And they shall die without knowledge.
