8 People may be bound in chains.Or trouble may tie them up like ropes around them.
9 But then God tells them what they have done.He tells them they have sinned by being too proud.
10 God makes them listen to his warning.He commands them to change from doing evil.
11 If they obey and serve him,the rest of their lives will be successful.And the rest of their years will be happy.
12 But if they do not listen,they will die by the sword.And they will die without knowing better.
13 “People who have wicked hearts hold on to anger.Even when God ties them down with trouble, they do not cry for help.
14 They die while they are still young.They die among the male prostitutes at the places of worship.
