Job 36:15

American Standard Version 2015

He delivereth the afflicted by their affliction,\par\tab And openeth their ear in oppression.

See the chapter Copy

He openeth also their ear to instruction,\par\tab And commandeth that they return from iniquity.

Nevertheless they shall be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.\par

But he saveth from the sword of their mouth,\par\tab Even the needy from the hand of the mighty.

Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth:\par\tab Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.

Are the consolations of God too small for thee,\par\tab Even the word that is gentle toward thee?

Then he openeth the ears of men,\par\tab And sealeth their instruction,

And if they be bound in fetters,\par\tab And be taken in the cords of afflictions;

Take heed, regard not iniquity:\par\tab For this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.

For he will deliver the needy when he crieth,\par\tab And the poor, that hath no helper.

Yet setteth he the needy on high from affliction,\par\tab And maketh {\i him} families like a flock.
