Job 36
|
|
| 36:1 Elihu also proceeded, and said, |
 (36:1-33) "Elihu also proceeded, and said....."
|
| 36:2
Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's
behalf. |
|
| 36:3
I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my
Maker. |
|
| 36:4
For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is
with thee. |
|
| 36:5
Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and
wisdom. |
|
| 36:6
He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor. |
|
| 36:7
He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on
the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted. |
|
| 36:8
And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction; |
|
| 36:9
Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have
exceeded. |
|
| 36:10
He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return
from iniquity. |
|
| 36:11
If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and
their years in pleasures. |
|
| 36:12
But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die
without knowledge. |
|
| 36:13
But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them. |
|
| 36:14
They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean. |
|
| 36:15
He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in
oppression. |
|
| 36:16
Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place,
where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table
should be full of fatness. |
|
| 36:17
But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice
take hold on thee. |
|
| 36:18
Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke:
then a great ransom cannot deliver thee. |
|
| 36:19
Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength. |
|
| 36:20
Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place. |
|
| 36:21
Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than
affliction. |
|
| 36:22
Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him? |
|
| 36:23
Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity? |
|
| 36:24
Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold. |
|
| 36:25
Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off. |
|
| 36:26
Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his
years be searched out. |
|
| 36:27
For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to
the vapour thereof: |
|
| 36:28
Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly. |
|
| 36:29
Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his
tabernacle? |
|
| 36:30
Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the
sea. |
|
| 36:31
For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance. |
|
| 36:32
With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the
cloud that cometh betwixt. |
|
| 36:33
The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the
vapour.
