Job 36:15

English Standard Version 2016

He delivers the afflicted by their affliction and opens their ear by adversity.

See the chapter Copy

He opens their ears to instruction and commands that they return from iniquity.

Nevertheless, they shall be servants to him, that they may know my service and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.”

But he saves the needy from the sword of their mouth and from the hand of the mighty.

“Behold, blessed is the one whom God reproves; therefore despise not the discipline of the Almighty.

Are the comforts of God too small for you, or the word that deals gently with you?

then he opens the ears of men and terrifies them with warnings,

And if they are bound in chains and caught in the cords of affliction,

Take care; do not turn to iniquity, for this you have chosen rather than affliction.

For he delivers the needy when he calls, the poor and him who has no helper.

but he raises up the needy out of affliction and makes their families like flocks.
