Job 36:13

Judgment

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

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

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.

15 God rescues the afflicted by their affliction and opens their ears in oppression.
