Job Chapter 36
36:1 | Elihu also proceeded, and said, |
36:2 | Suffer me a little, and I will show thee that [I have] yet to speak on God' 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 ![]() ![]() |
36:8 | And if [they be] bound in fetters, [and] be holden in cords of affliction; |
36:9 | Then he showeth 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 ![]() ![]() |
36:12 | But if they obey not, they shall perish by the ![]() |
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 ![]() |
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 ![]() |
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 ![]() |
36:28 | Which the ![]() ![]() |
36:29 | Also can [any] understand the spreadings of the ![]() |
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 ![]() |
36:32 | With ![]() ![]() |
36:33 | The noise thereof showeth concerning it, the ![]() |
