9 he tells them what they have done—

that they have sinned arrogantly.

10 He makes them listen to correction

and commands them to repent of their evil.

11 If they obey and serve him,

they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity

and their years in contentment.

12 But if they do not listen,

they will perish by the sword

and die without knowledge.

13 “The godless in heart harbor resentment;

even when he fetters them, they do not cry for help.

14 They die in their youth,

among male prostitutes of the shrines.

15 But those who suffer he delivers in their suffering;

he speaks to them in their affliction.

9 then he declares to them their work

and their transgressions, that they are behaving arrogantly.

10 He opens their ears to instruction

and commands that they return from iniquity.

11 If they listen and serve him,

they complete their days in prosperity,

and their years in pleasantness.

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

and die without knowledge.

13 “The godless in heart cherish anger;

they do not cry for help when he binds them.

14 They die in youth,

and their life ends among the cult prostitutes.

15 He delivers the afflicted by their affliction

and opens their ear by adversity.

9 Then he sheweth them their work,

And their transgressions that they have exceeded.

10 He openeth also their ear to discipline,

And commandeth that they return from iniquity.

11 If they obey and serve him,

They shall spend their days in prosperity,

And their years in pleasures.

12 But if they obey not,

They shall perish by the sword,

And they shall die without knowledge.

13 But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath:

They cry not when he bindeth them.

14 They die in youth,

And their life is among the unclean.

15 He delivereth the poor in his affliction,

And openeth their ears in oppression.

9 he shows them the reason.

He shows them their sins of pride.

10 He gets their attention

and commands that they turn from evil.

11 “If they listen and obey God,

they will be blessed with prosperity throughout their lives.

All their years will be pleasant.

12 But if they refuse to listen to him,

they will cross over the river of death,

dying from lack of understanding.

13 For the godless are full of resentment.

Even when he punishes them,

they refuse to cry out to him for help.

14 They die when they are young,

after wasting their lives in immoral living.

15 But by means of their suffering, he rescues those who suffer.

For he gets their attention through adversity.

9 God tells them what they have done,

that they have sinned in their pride.

10 God makes them listen to his warning

and commands them to change from doing evil.

11 If they obey and serve him,

the rest of their lives will be successful,

and the rest of their years will be happy.

12 But if they do not listen,

they will die by the sword,

and they will die without knowing why.

13 “Those who have wicked hearts hold on to anger.

Even when God punishes them, they do not cry for help.

14 They die while they are still young,

and their lives end in disgrace.

15 But God saves those who suffer through their suffering;

he gets them to listen through their pain.

9 Then he showeth them their work,

And their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.

10 He openeth also their ear to instruction,

And commandeth that they return from iniquity.

11 If they hearken and serve him,

They shall spend their days in prosperity,

And their years in pleasures.

12 But if they hearken not, they shall perish by the sword,

And they shall die without knowledge.

13 But they that are godless in heart lay up anger:

They cry not for help when he bindeth them.

14 They die in youth,

And their life perisheth among the unclean.

15 He delivereth the afflicted by their affliction,

And openeth their ear in oppression.

9 Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions, because they have increased. 10 And he openeth their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity. 11 If they hearken and serve him, they shall accomplish their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. 12 But if they hearken not, they shall pass away by the sword, and expire without knowledge. 13 But the godless in heart heap up anger; they cry not when he bindeth them: 14 Their soul dieth in youth, and their life is among the unclean.

15 But he delivereth the afflicted in his affliction, and openeth their ear in their oppression.

9 he tells them what they’ve done wrong 

and that they’ve behaved arrogantly. 

10 He makes them listen to his warning 

and orders them to turn away from wrong. 

11 “If righteous people listen and serve ⸤him⸥, 

they will live out their days in prosperity 

and their years in comfort. 

12 But if they don’t listen, 

they will cross the River ⸤of Death⸥ 

and die like those who have no knowledge. 

13 But those who have godless hearts remain angry. 

They don’t even call for help when he chains them up. 

14 They die while they’re young, 

or they live on as male prostitutes in the temples of idols. 

15 He rescues suffering people through their suffering, 

and he opens their ears through distress. 

9 God tells them what they have done

and how arrogantly they have transgressed.

10 He opens their ears to correction

and insists they repent from iniquity.

11 If they serve Him obediently,

they will end their days in prosperity

and their years in happiness.

12 But if they do not obey,

they will cross the river of death

and die without knowledge.

13 Those who have a godless heart harbor anger;

even when God binds them, they do not cry for help.

14 They die in their youth;

their life ends among male cult prostitutes.

15 God rescues the afflicted by their affliction;

He instructs them by their torment.

9 then he declares to them their work

and their transgressions, that they are behaving arrogantly.

10 He opens their ears to instruction

and commands that they return from iniquity.

11 If they listen and serve him,

they complete their days in prosperity

and their years in pleasantness.

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

and die without knowledge.

13 “The godless in heart cherish anger;

they do not cry for help when he binds them.

14 They die in their youth,

and their life ends in shame.

15 He delivers the afflicted by their affliction

and opens their ear by adversity.

9 then he declares their work to them,

and their transgressions, that they are behaving arrogantly.

10 So he opens their ear to the discipline,

and he commands that they return from mischief.

11 If they listen and serve him,

they complete their days in prosperity and their years in pleasantness.

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

and they pass away without knowledge.

13 And the godless of heart cherish anger;

they do not cry for help when he binds them.

14 They die in their youth,

and their life ends among the male shrine prostitutes.

15 He delivers the afflicted by his misery,

and he opens their ears by the adversity.

9 God tells them what they’ve done.

He tells them they’ve become proud and sinned against him.

10 He makes them listen when he corrects them.

He commands them to turn away

from the evil things they’ve done.

11 If they obey him and serve him,

they’ll enjoy a long and happy life.

Things will go well with them.

12 But if they don’t listen to him,

they’ll be killed with swords.

They’ll die because they didn’t want to know anything about him.

13 “Those whose hearts are ungodly are always angry.

Even when God puts them in chains,

they don’t cry out for help.

14 They die while they are still young.

They die among the male prostitutes at the temples.

15 But God saves suffering people while they are suffering.

He speaks to them while they are hurting.

9 Then He declares to them their work

And their transgressions, that they have magnified themselves.

10 “He opens their ear to instruction,

And commands that they return from evil.

11 “If they hear and serve Him,

They will end their days in prosperity

And their years in pleasures.

12 “But if they do not hear, they shall perish by the sword

And they will die without knowledge.

13 “But the godless in heart lay up anger;

They do not cry for help when He binds them.

14 “They die in youth,

And their life perishes among the cult prostitutes.

15 “He delivers the afflicted in their affliction,

And opens their ear in time of oppression.
