So if people are punished,\par if they are tied with chains and ropes\par then they did something wrong.\par
You have put chains on my feet.\par You watch every step I take.\par You watch every move I make.\par
But it is God who did wrong to me.\par He set his trap to catch me.\par
But God will humble people\par from their troubles.\par God uses those troubles\par to make people wake up\par and listen to him.\par
Job, you have suffered a lot.\par But don’t choose evil.\par Be careful not to do wrong.\par
Some of God’s people were prisoners,\par locked behind bars in dark, dark prisons.\par
\{I almost died!\}\par Death’s ropes were wrapped around me.\par The grave was closing in around me.\par I was scared and worried.\par
A group of bad people said bad things\par about me.\par But I did not forget your teachings, Lord.\par
God’s people will put chains\par on those kings and important people.\par
Ropes of the grave were all around me.\par Traps of death lay before me.\par
The sins of an evil person will trap him. His sins will be like ropes holding him.
He has blocked up my path with stones.\par He has made my path crooked.\par
