6. He preserves not the life of the wicked: but gives justice to the poor.
7. He withdraws not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings they are on the throne; yea, he does establish them forever, and they are exalted.
8. And if they are bound in fetters, and are held in cords of affliction;
9. Then he shows them their work, and their transgressions, that they have exceeded.
10. He opens also their ear to discipline, and commands that they return from iniquity.
11. If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
12. But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
13. But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he binds them.
14. They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
