3 I get my knowledge from far away. I'll announce that the One who made me is fair.
4 You can be sure that my words are true. One who has perfect knowledge is talking to you.
5 "God is mighty, but he doesn't hate people. He's mighty, and he knows exactly what he's going to do.
6 He doesn't keep alive those who are evil. Instead, he gives suffering people their rights.
7 He watches over those who do what is right. He puts them on thrones as if they were kings. He honors them forever.
8 But some people are held by chains. They are tied up with painful ropes.
9 God tells them what they've done. He tells them they've become proud and sinned against him.
