Chapter 36

1


 

  And Elihu addeth and saith: --  

 

 

--

2


 

  Honour me a little, and I shew thee, That yet for God [are] words.  

 

 

--

3


 

  I lift up my knowledge from afar, And to my Maker I ascribe righteousness.  

 

 

--

4


 

  For, truly, my words [are] not false, The perfect in knowledge [is] with thee.  

 

 

--

5


 

  Lo, God [is] mighty, and despiseth not, Mighty [in] power [and] heart.  

 

 

--

6


 

  He reviveth not the wicked, And the judgment of the poor appointeth;  

 

 

--

7


 

  He withdraweth not from the righteous His eyes, And [from] kings on the throne, And causeth them to sit for ever, and they are high,  

 

 

--

8


 

  And if prisoners in fetters They are captured with cords of affliction,  

 

 

--

9


 

  Then He declareth to them their work, And their transgressions, Because they have become mighty,  

 

 

--

10


 

  And He uncovereth their ear for instruction, And saith that they turn back from iniquity.  

 

 

--

11


 

  If they do hear and serve, They complete their days in good, And their years in pleasantness.  

 

 

--

12


 

  And if they do not hearken, By the dart they pass away, And expire without knowledge.  

 

 

--

13


 

  And the profane in heart set the face, They cry not when He hath bound them.  

 

 

--

14


 

  Their soul dieth in youth, And their life among the defiled.  

 

 

--

15


 

  He draweth out the afflicted in his affliction, And uncovereth in oppression their ear.  

 

 

--

16


 

  And also He moved thee from a strait place, [To] a broad place -- no straitness under it, And the sitting beyond of thy table Hath been full of fatness.  

 

 

--

17


 

  And the judgment of the wicked thou hast fulfilled, Judgment and justice are upheld -- because of fury,  

 

 

--

18


 

  Lest He move thee with a stroke, And the abundance of an atonement turn thee not aside.  

 

 

--

19


 

  Doth He value thy riches? He hath gold, and all the forces of power.  

 

 

--

20


 

  Desire not the night, For the going up of peoples in their stead.  

 

 

--

21


 

  Take heed -- do not turn unto iniquity, For on this thou hast fixed Rather than [on] affliction.  

 

 

--

22


 

  Lo, God doth sit on high by His power, Who [is] like Him -- a teacher?  

 

 

--

23


 

  Who hath appointed unto Him his way? And who said, 'Thou hast done iniquity?'  

 

 

--

24


 

  Remember that thou magnify His work That men have beheld.  

 

 

--

25


 

  All men have looked on it, Man looketh attentively from afar.  

 

 

--

26


 

  Lo, God [is] high, And we know not the number of His years, Yea, there [is] no searching.  

 

 

--

27


 

  When He doth diminish droppings of the waters, They refine rain according to its vapour,  

 

 

--

28


 

  Which clouds do drop, They distil on man abundantly.  

 

 

--

29


 

  Yea, doth [any] understand The spreadings out of a cloud? The noises of His tabernacle?  

 

 

--

30


 

  Lo, He hath spread over it His light, And the roots of the sea He hath covered,  

 

 

--

31


 

  For by them He doth judge peoples, He giveth food in abundance.  

 

 

--

32


 

  By two palms He hath covered the light, And layeth a charge over it in meeting,  

 

 

--

33


 

  He sheweth by it [to] his friend substance, Anger against perversity.
