Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

5“Behold, God is mighty but does not reject anyone;

He is mighty in strength of understanding.

6“He does not keep the wicked alive,

But gives justice to the afflicted.

7“He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous,

But with kings on the throne

He has seated them forever, and they are exalted.

8“And if they are bound in shackles,

And are caught in the snares of misery,

9Then He declares to them their work

And their wrongdoings, that they have been arrogant.

10“He opens their ears to instruction,

And commands that they return from injustice.

11“If they listen and serve Him,

They will end their days in prosperity,

And their years in happiness.

12“But if they do not listen, they will perish by the sword,

And die without knowledge.

13“But the godless in heart nurture anger;

They do not call for help when He binds them.

14“They die in youth,

And their life perishes among the cult prostitutes.
