Job 36:9
7 He does not take His eyes off the righteous, but He enthrones them with kings and exalts them forever.
8 And if men are bound with chains, caught in cords of affliction,
then He tells them their deeds and how arrogantly they have transgressed.
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.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
