"But if they are bound in chains, and held captive by the cords of affliction,"
— Job 36:8, NET Bible
“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,”
“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;”
Indeed, God is mighty; and he does not despise people, he is mighty, and firm in his intent.
He does not allow the wicked to live, but he gives justice to the poor.
He does not take his eyes off the righteous; but with kings on the throne he seats the righteous and exalts them forever.
But if they are bound in chains, and held captive by the cords of affliction,
then he reveals to them what they have done, and their transgressions, that they were behaving proudly.
And he reveals this for correction, and says that they must turn from evil.
If they obey and serve him, they live out their days in prosperity and their years in pleasantness.
