Chapter 36

1


 

  And Elihu proceeded and said,  

 

 

--

2


 

  Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet words for +God.  

 

 

--

3


 

  I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Creator.  

 

 

--

4


 

  For truly my words shall be no falsehood: one perfect in knowledge is with thee.  

 

 

--

5


 

  Lo, łGod is mighty, but despiseth not [any]; mighty in strength of understanding:  

 

 

--

6


 

  He saveth not the wicked alive; but he doeth justice to the afflicted.  

 

 

--

7


 

  He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne doth he even set them for ever; and they are exalted.  

 

 

--

8


 

  And if, bound in fetters, they be held in cords of affliction,  

 

 

--

9


 

  Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions, because they have increased.  

 

 

--

10


 

  And he openeth their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.  

 

 

--

11


 

  If they hearken and serve [him], they shall accomplish their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.  

 

 

--

12


 

  But if they hearken not, they shall pass away by the sword, and expire without knowledge.  

 

 

--

13


 

  But the godless in heart heap up anger; they cry not when he bindeth them:  

 

 

--

14


 

  Their soul dieth in youth, and their life is among the unclean.  

 

 

--

15


 

  But he delivereth the afflicted in his affliction, and openeth their ear in [their] oppression.  

 

 

--

16


 

  Even so would he have allured thee out of the jaws of distress into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and the supply of thy table [would be] full of fatness.  

 

 

--

17


 

  But thou art full of the judgments of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold [on thee].  

 

 

--

18


 

  Because there is wrath, [beware] lest it take thee away through chastisement: then a great ransom could not avail thee.  

 

 

--

19


 

  Will he esteem thy riches? Not gold, nor all the resources of strength!  

 

 

--

20


 

  Desire not the night, when peoples are cut off from their place.  

 

 

--

21


 

  Take heed, turn not to iniquity; for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.  

 

 

--

22


 

  Lo, łGod is exalted in his power: who teacheth as he?  

 

 

--

23


 

  Who hath appointed him his way? or who hath said, Thou hast wrought unrighteousness?  

 

 

--

24


 

  Remember that thou magnify his work, which men celebrate.  

 

 

--

25


 

  All men look at it; man beholdeth [it] afar off.  

 

 

--

26


 

  Lo, łGod is great, and we comprehend [him] not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.  

 

 

--

27


 

  For he draweth up the drops of water: they distil in rain from the vapour which he formeth,  

 

 

--

28


 

  Which the skies pour down [and] drop upon man abundantly.  

 

 

--

29


 

  But can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, [or] the crashing of his pavilion?  

 

 

--

30


 

  Lo, he spreadeth his light around him, and covereth the bottom of the sea.  

 

 

--

31


 

  For with them he judgeth the peoples; he giveth food in abundance.  

 

 

--

32


 

  [His] hands he covereth with lightning, and commandeth it where it is to strike.  

 

 

--

33


 

  His thundering declareth concerning him; the cattle even, concerning its coming.
