Job 36:12

10 He opens their ears to correction and commands that they turn from iniquity.

11 If they obey and serve Him, then they end their days in prosperity and their years in happiness.

But if they do not obey, then they perish by the sword and die without knowledge.

13 The godless in heart harbor resentment; even when He binds them, they do not cry for help.

14 They die in their youth, among the male shrine prostitutes.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
