Job 36:15

Modern English Version

He delivers the poor in their affliction, and opens their ears in oppression.

See the chapter Copy

For they will be slaves to him so that they experience My labor and the labor of the kingdoms of other lands.”

Are the consolations of God too small for you? Or the word spoken gently to you?

then He opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,

and He opens their ear to discipline, and commands that they turn from iniquity.

Take heed! Do not turn to iniquity, for you have chosen this rather than affliction.

If they are bound in chains and held in cords of affliction,

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

“Behold, blessed is the man whom God corrects! Therefore do not despise the discipline of the Almighty,

yet He sets the poor on high out of affliction, and makes their families like a flock.

For he will deliver the needy when he cries, the poor also, and him who has no helper.
