Context of Job 36:4
2“Bear with me a little longer, and I will show you that there is more to be said on God’s behalf. 3I get my knowledge from afar, and I will ascribe justice to my Maker. For truly my words are free of falsehood; one perfect in knowledge is with you. 5Indeed, God is mighty, but He despises no one; He is mighty in strength of understanding. 6He does not keep the wicked alive, but He grants justice to the afflicted.
