Job 36

1And ElihuH453 proceeded and saidH559, 2Suffer me a littleH2191, and I will shew thee that I have yetH5750 wordsH4405 for 1GodH433. 3I will fetch my knowledgeH1843 from afarH7350, and will ascribe righteousnessH6664 to my Creator. 4For truly my wordsH4405 shall be no falsehoodH8267: one perfectH8549 in knowledgeH1844 is with thee. 5Lo, 2GodH410 is mightyH3524, but despiseth not [any]; mightyH3524 in strengthH3581 of understanding: 6He saveth not the wickedH7563 aliveH2421; but he doeth justiceH4941 to the afflictedH6041. 7He withdraweth not his eyesH5869 from the righteousH6662, but with kingsH4428 on the throneH3678 doth he even set them for ever; and they are exaltedH1361. 8And if, boundH631 in fetters, they be held in cordsH2256 of affliction, 9Then he sheweth them their workH6467, and their transgressionsH6588, because they have increased. 10And he openeth their earH241 to disciplineH4148, and commandeth that they returnH7725 from iniquity. 11If they hearken and serveH5647 [him], they shall accomplish their daysH3117 in prosperity, and their yearsH8141 in pleasures. 12But if they hearken not, they shall passH5674 awayH5674 by the sword, and expireH1478 without knowledgeH1847. 13But the 3godlessH2611 in heartH3820 heap up angerH639; they cryH7768 not when he bindeth them: 14Their soulH5315 dieth in youthH5290, and their lifeH5315 is among the unclean. 15But he delivereth the afflictedH6041 in his affliction, and openeth their earH241 in [their] oppressionH3906. 16EvenH637 so would he have allured thee out of the jaws of distressH6862 into a broadH7338 placeH8478, where there is no straitness; and the supply of thy tableH7979 [would be] fullH4390 of fatnessH1880. 17But thou art fullH4390 of the judgmentsH4941 of the wickedH7563: judgmentH4941 and justiceH4941 takeH8551 holdH8551 [on thee]. 18Because there is wrathH2534, [beware] lestH6435 it take thee away through chastisement: then a greatH7227 ransomH3724 could not avail thee. 19Will he esteem thy riches? Not gold, nor all the resources of strengthH3581! 20Desire not the nightH3915, when peoplesH5971 are cut off from their placeH8478. 21TakeH8104 heedH8104, turnH6437 not to iniquity; for this hast thou chosenH977 rather than affliction. 22Lo, 4GodH410 is exaltedH7682 in his powerH3581: who teacheth as he? 23Who hath appointedH6485 him his wayH1870? or who hath saidH559, Thou hast wrought unrighteousnessH5766? 24RememberH2142 that thou magnify his workH6467, which menH376 celebrate. 25All menH120 lookH5027 at it; manH120 beholdeth [it] afarH7350 off. 26Lo, 5GodH410 is great, and we comprehend [him] not, neither can the numberH4557 of his yearsH8141 be searchedH2714 out. 27For he draweth up the drops of waterH4325: they distil in rainH4306 from the vapour which he formeth, 28Which the skies pour down [and] drop upon manH120 abundantly. 29But can any understandH995 the spreadings of the cloudsH5645, [or] the crashing of his pavilion? 30Lo, he spreadeth his lightH216 around him, and covereth the bottom of the seaH3220. 31For with them he judgeth the peoplesH5971; he giveth foodH400 in abundance. 32[His] handsH3709 he covereth with lightning, and commandeth it where it is to strike. 33His thundering declareth concerning him; the cattle evenH637, concerning its comingH5927.
