chapter_Job_36
Job 36:1: And Elihu addeth and saith: &#8212; Job 36:2: Honour me a little, and I shew thee, That yet for God are words. Job 36:3: I lift up my knowledge from afar, And to my Maker I ascribe righteousness. Job 36:4: For, truly, my words are not false, The perfect in knowledge is with thee. Job 36:5: Lo, God is mighty, and despiseth not, Mighty in power and heart. Job 36:6: He reviveth not the wicked, And the judgment of the poor appointeth; Job 36:7: He withdraweth not from the righteous His eyes, And from kings on the throne, And causeth them to sit for ever, and they are high, Job 36:8: And if prisoners in fetters They are captured with cords of affliction, Job 36:9: Then He declareth to them their work, And their transgressions, Because they have become mighty, Job 36:10: And He uncovereth their ear for instruction, And saith that they turn back from iniquity. Job 36:11: If they do hear and serve, They complete their days in good, And their years in pleasantness. Job 36:12: And if they do not hearken, By the dart they pass away, And expire without knowledge. Job 36:13: And the profane in heart set the face, They cry not when He hath bound them. Job 36:14: Their soul dieth in youth, And their life among the defiled. Job 36:15: He draweth out the afflicted in his affliction, And uncovereth in oppression their ear. Job 36:16: And also He moved thee from a strait place, To a broad place &#8212; no straitness under it, And the sitting beyond of thy table Hath been full of fatness. Job 36:17: And the judgment of the wicked thou hast fulfilled, Judgment and justice are upheld &#8212; because of fury, Job 36:18: Lest He move thee with a stroke, And the abundance of an atonement turn thee not aside. Job 36:19: Doth He value thy riches? He hath gold, and all the forces of power. Job 36:20: Desire not the night, For the going up of peoples in their stead. Job 36:21: Take heed &#8212; do not turn unto iniquity, For on this thou hast fixed Rather than on affliction. Job 36:22: Lo, God doth sit on high by His power, Who is like Him &#8212; a teacher? Job 36:23: Who hath appointed unto Him his way? And who said, 'Thou hast done iniquity?' Job 36:24: Remember that thou magnify His work That men have beheld. Job 36:25: All men have looked on it, Man looketh attentively from afar. Job 36:26: Lo, God is high, And we know not the number of His years, Yea, there is no searching. Job 36:27: When He doth diminish droppings of the waters, They refine rain according to its vapour, Job 36:28: Which clouds do drop, They distil on man abundantly. Job 36:29: Yea, doth any understand The spreadings out of a cloud? The noises of His tabernacle? Job 36:30: Lo, He hath spread over it His light, And the roots of the sea He hath covered, Job 36:31: For by them He doth judge peoples, He giveth food in abundance. Job 36:32: By two palms He hath covered the light, And layeth a charge over it in meeting, Job 36:33: He sheweth by it to his friend substance, Anger against perversity.
