7. God watches over good peopleand places them in positionsof power and honour for ever.
8. But when people are prisonersof suffering and pain,
11. And if they obey,they will be successfuland happy from then on.
12. But if they foolishly refuse,they will be rewardedwith a violent death.
13. Godless people are too angryto ask God for helpwhen he punishes them.
14. So they die youngin shameful disgrace.
