Job 36:7–9

7 He does not take his eyes off the righteous;

he enthrones them with kings

and exalts them forever.

8 But if people are bound in chains,

held fast by cords of affliction,

9 he tells them what they have done—

that they have sinned arrogantly.

7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous:

But with kings are they on the throne;

Yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.

8 And if they be bound in fetters,

And be holden in cords of affliction;

9 Then he sheweth them their work,

And their transgressions that they have exceeded.

7 He never takes his eyes off the innocent,

but he sets them on thrones with kings

and exalts them forever.

8 If they are bound in chains

and caught up in a web of trouble,

9 he shows them the reason.

He shows them their sins of pride.

7 He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous;

But they are on the throne with kings,

For He has seated them forever,

And they are exalted.

8 And if they are bound in fetters,

Held in the cords of affliction,

9 Then He tells them their work and their transgressions—

That they have acted defiantly.

7 He always watches over those who do right;

he sets them on thrones with kings

and they are honored forever.

8 If people are bound in chains,

or if trouble, like ropes, ties them up,

9 God tells them what they have done,

that they have sinned in their pride.

7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous:

But with kings upon the throne

He setteth them for ever, and they are exalted.

8 And if they be bound in fetters,

And be taken in the cords of afflictions;

9 Then he showeth them their work,

And their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.

7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne doth he even set them for ever; and they are exalted. 8 And if, bound in fetters, they be held in cords of affliction, 9 Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions, because they have increased.

7 He doesn’t take his eyes off righteous people. 

He seats them on thrones with kings to honor them forever. 

8 However, if righteous people are bound in chains 

and tangled in ropes of misery, 

9 he tells them what they’ve done wrong 

and that they’ve behaved arrogantly. 

7 He does not remove His gaze from the righteous,

but He seats them forever with enthroned kings,

and they are exalted.

8 If people are bound with chains

and trapped by the cords of affliction,

9 God tells them what they have done

and how arrogantly they have transgressed.

7 He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous,

but with kings on the throne

he sets them forever, and they are exalted.

8 And if they are bound in fetters

and caught in the cords of affliction,

9 then he declares to them their work

and their transgressions, that they are behaving arrogantly.

7 He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous,

but he sets them forever with kings on the throne, and they are exalted.

8 “And if they are tied up with fetters,

if they are caught in the cords of misery,

9 then he declares their work to them,

and their transgressions, that they are behaving arrogantly.

7 He watches over those who do what is right.

He puts them on thrones as if they were kings.

He honors them forever.

8 But some people are held by chains.

They are tied up with painful ropes.

9 God tells them what they’ve done.

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

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 fetters,

And are caught in the cords of affliction,

9 Then He declares to them their work

And their transgressions, that they have magnified themselves.
