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