Chapter 36

1


 

  Eliu also proceeded, and said :  

 

 

-

2


 

  Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee : for I have yet somewhat to speak in God's behalf.  

 

 

-

3


 

  I will repeat my knowledge from the beginning, and I will prove my Maker just.  

 

 

-

4


 

  For indeed my words are without a lie, and perfect knowledge shall be proved to thee.  

 

 

-

5


 

  God doth not cast away the mighty, whereas he himself also is mighty.  

 

 

-

6


 

  But he saveth not the wicked, and he giveth judgment to the poor.  

 

 

-

7


 

  He will not take away his eyes from the just, and he placeth kings on the throne for ever, and they are exalted.  

 

 

-

8


 

  And if they shall be in chains, and be bound with the cords of poverty :  

 

 

-

9


 

  He shall shew them their works, and their wicked deeds, because they have been violent.  

 

 

-

10


 

  He also shall open their ear, to correct them : and shall speak, that they may return from iniquity.  

 

 

-

11


 

  If they shall hear and observe, they shall accomplish their days in good, and their years in glory.  

 

 

-

12


 

  But if they hear not, they shall pass by the sword, and shall be consumed in folly.  

 

 

-

13


 

  Dissemblers and crafty men prove the wrath of God, neither shall they cry when they are bound.  

 

 

-

14


 

  Their soul shall die in a storm, and their life among the effeminate.  

 

 

-

15


 

  He shall deliver the poor out of his distress, and shall open his ear in affliction.  

 

 

-

16


 

  Therefore he shall set thee at large out of the narrow mouth, and which hath no foundation under it : and the rest of thy table shall be full of fatness.  

 

 

-

17


 

  Thy cause hath been judged as that of the wicked, cause and judgment thou shalt recover.  

 

 

-

18


 

  Therefore let not anger overcome thee to oppress any man : neither let multitude of gifts turn thee aside.  

 

 

-

19


 

  Lay down thy greatness without tribulation, and all the mighty of strength.  

 

 

-

20


 

  Prolong not the night that people may come up for them.  

 

 

-

21


 

  Beware thou turn not aside to iniquity : for this thou hast begun to follow after misery.  

 

 

-

22


 

  Behold, God is high in his strength, and none is like him among the lawgivers.  

 

 

-

23


 

  Who can search out his ways? or who can say to him : Thou has wrought iniquity?  

 

 

-

24


 

  Remember that thou knowest not his work, concerning which men have sung.  

 

 

-

25


 

  All men see him, every one beholdeth afar off.  

 

 

-

26


 

  Behold, God is great, exceeding our knowledge : the number of his years is inestimable.  

 

 

-

27


 

  He lifteth up the drops of rain, and poureth out showers like floods :  

 

 

-

28


 

  Which flow from the clouds that cover all above.  

 

 

-

29


 

  If he will spread out clouds as his tent,  

 

 

-

30


 

  And lighten with his light from above, he shall cover also the ends of the sea.  

 

 

-

31


 

  For by these he judgeth people, and giveth food to many mortals.  

 

 

-

32


 

  In his hands he hideth the light, and commandeth it to come again.  

 

 

-

33


 

  He sheweth his friend concerning it, that it is his possession, and that he may come up to it.
