Behold, God is mighty, and He does not despise. He is mighty in strength of heart.

He will not keep the wicked alive, but He gives justice to the afflicted.

He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous, but they are like kings on the throne; yea, He causes them to sit forever, and they are very high.

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

then He declares to them their work and their transgressions, that they have behaved proudly.

He also opens their ear to instruction, and commands that they turn back from iniquity.

If they hear and serve, they shall spend their days in good, and their years in pleasures.

But if they do not hear, they shall pass away by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
