5. See, Ěl is mighty, but rejects no one – mighty in power and heart.
6. He does not keep the wrongdoer alive, but He gives right-ruling to the oppressed ones.
7. He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous, and sovereigns on the throne, and seats them forever, and they are exalted.
8. And if they are bound in shackles, caught in the cords of affliction,
9. then He reveals to them their work, and their transgressions, that they behaved proudly.
10. And He opens their ear for discipline, and commands that they turn back from wickedness.
11. If they obey and serve, they complete their days in blessedness, and their years in pleasantness.
12. But if they do not obey, they perish by the sword, and die without knowledge.
13. But the defiled ones in heart become enraged – let them not cry for help when He binds them.
14. Their being dies in youth, and their life among the male prostitutes.
15. He rescues the afflicted one in his affliction, and opens their ears in oppression.
16. And He also would have brought you out of distress, into a broad place where there is no restraint. And what is set on your table would be filled with rich food.
