"And if they be bound in fetters, And be taken in the cords of affliction; "
— Job 36:8, American Standard Version
“And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;”
“If they are bound in fetters, and are taken in the cords of afflictions,”
“But if they are bound in chains, and held captive by the cords of affliction,”
“And if they shall be in chains, and be bound with the cords of poverty:”
“And if they have been prisoned in chains, and taken in cords of trouble,”
“And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;”
Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: He is mighty in strength of understanding.
He preserveth not the life of the wicked, But giveth to the afflicted their right.
He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: But with kings upon the throne He setteth them for ever, and they are exalted.
And if they be bound in fetters, And be taken in the cords of affliction;
Then he showeth them their work, And their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.
He openeth also their ear to instruction, And commandeth that they return from iniquity.
If they hearken and serve him, They shall spend their days in prosperity, And their years in pleasures.
