"And, if they are in captivity, or are bound with the chains of poverty, "
— Job 36:8, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;”
“And if they be bound in fetters, And be taken in the 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;”
God does not abandon the powerful, for he himself is also powerful.
But he does not save the impious, though he grants judgment to the poor.
He will not take his eyes away from the just, and he continually establishes kings on their throne, and they are exalted.
And, if they are in captivity, or are bound with the chains of poverty,
he will reveal to them their works, as well as their sinfulness, in that they were violent.
Likewise, he will open their ears to his correction, and he will speak to them, so that they may return from iniquity.
If they listen and obey, they will fill their days with goodness and complete their years in glory.
