Job 36:8

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

And if they shall be in chains, and be bound with the cords of poverty:

See the chapter Copy

Moab the pot of my hope. Over Edom I will stretch out my shoe: the aliens are become my friends.

His own iniquities catch the wicked, and he is fast bound with the ropes of his own sins.

Ghimel. He hath shut up my ways with square stones: he hath turned my paths upside down.

Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world.

At least now, understand that God hath not afflicted me with an equal judgment, and compassed me with his scourges.

Thou hast put my feet in the stocks, and hast observed all my paths, and hast considered the steps of my feet:

He shall deliver the poor out of his distress, and shall open his ear in affliction.

Beware thou turn not aside to iniquity: for this thou hast begun to follow after misery.

To bind their kings with fetters, and their nobles with manacles of iron.
