Read in context

Job 36:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 And if men are bound with chains, caught in cords of affliction,

9 then He tells them their deeds and how arrogantly they have transgressed.

10 He opens their ears to correction and commands that they turn from iniquity.

11 If they obey and serve Him, then they end their days in prosperity and their years in happiness.

12 But if they do not obey, then they perish by the sword and die without knowledge.
