4 You can rest assuredthat what I say is true.
5 Although God is mighty,he cares about everyoneand makes fair decisions.
6 The wicked are cut down,and those who are wrongedreceive justice.
7 God watches over good peopleand places them in positionsof power and honour for ever.
8 But when people are prisonersof suffering and pain,
9-10 God points out their sinand their pride,then he warns themto turn back to him.
11 And if they obey,they will be successfuland happy from then on.
