Then Elihu continued and said, |
|
|
|
|

|
"Wait for me a little, and I will show you That
there is yet more to be said in God's behalf. |
| |
|
|
| Job 36:3 |
|
"I will fetch my knowledge from afar, And I
will ascribe righteousness to my Maker. |
| |
|
|
| Job 36:4 |
|
"For truly my words are not false; One who is
perfect in knowledge is with you. |
| |
|
|
| Job 36:5 |
|
"Behold, God is mighty but does not despise
any; He is mighty in strength of understanding. |
| |
|
|

|
"He does not keep the wicked alive, But gives
justice to the afflicted. |
| |
|
|
| Job 36:7 |
|
"He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous;
But with kings on the throne He has seated them forever, and they are exalted.
|
|
|
|
| Job 36:8 |
|
"And if they are bound in fetters, And are caught
in the cords of affliction, |
|
|
|
| Job 36:9 |
|
Then He declares to them their work And their
transgressions, that they have magnified themselves. |
|
|
|
| Job 36:10 |
|
"He opens their ear to instruction, And commands
that they return from evil. |
|
|
|
| Job 36:11 |
|
"If they hear and serve Him, They will end their
days in prosperity And their years in pleasures. |
|
|
|
| Job 36:12 |
|
"But if they do not hear, they shall perish
by the sword And they will die without knowledge. |
|
|
|
| Job 36:13 |
|
"But the godless in heart lay up anger; They
do not cry for help when He binds them. |
|
|
|
| Job 36:14 |
|
"They die in youth, And their life perishes
among the cult prostitutes. |
|
|
|
| Job 36:15 |
|
"He delivers the afflicted in their affliction,
And opens their ear in time of oppression. |
|
|
|
| Job 36:16 |
|
"Then indeed, He enticed you from the mouth
of distress, Instead of it, a broad place with no constraint; And that which was
set on your table was full of fatness. |
|
|
|
| Job 36:17 |
|
"But you were full of judgment on the wicked;
Judgment and justice take hold of you. |
|
|
|
| Job 36:18 |
|
"Beware that wrath does not entice you to scoffing;
And do not let the greatness of the ransom turn you aside. |
|
|
|
| Job 36:19 |
|
"Will your riches keep you from distress, Or
all the forces of your strength? |
| |
|
|
| Job 36:20 |
|
"Do not long for the night, When people vanish
in their place. |
| |
|
|
| Job 36:21 |
|
"Be careful, do not turn to evil, For you have
preferred this to affliction. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 36:22 |
|
"Behold, God is exalted in His power; Who is
a teacher like Him? |
|
|
|
|
| Job 36:23 |
|
"Who has appointed Him His way, And who has
said, 'You have done wrong'? |
|
|
|
|
| Job 36:24 |
|
"Remember that you should exalt His work, Of
which men have sung. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 36:25 |
|
"All men have seen it; Man beholds from afar. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 36:26 |
|
"Behold, God is exalted, and we do not know
Him; The number of His years is unsearchable. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 36:27 |
|
"For He draws up the drops of water, They distill
rain from the mist, |
|
|
|
|
| Job 36:28 |
|
Which the clouds pour down, They drip upon man
abundantly. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 36:29 |
|
"Can anyone understand the spreading of the
clouds, The thundering of His pavilion? |
|
|
|
|
| Job 36:30 |
|
"Behold, He spreads His lightning about Him,
And He covers the depths of the sea. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 36:31 |
|
"For by these He judges peoples; He gives food
in abundance. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 36:32 |
|
"He covers His hands with the lightning, And
commands it to strike the mark. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 36:33 |
|
"Its noise declares His presence; The cattle
also, concerning what is coming up. |
