5 Indeed, God is mighty, but He despises no one; He is mighty in strength of understanding.
6 He does not keep the wicked alive, but He grants justice to the afflicted.

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.
