Chapter 36

1


 

  Elihu also proceeded, and said,  

 

 

-

2


 

  Suffer me a little, and I will show thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf.  

 

 

-

3


 

  I will bring my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.  

 

 

-

4


 

  For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.  

 

 

-

5


 

  Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.  

 

 

-

6


 

  He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.  

 

 

-

7


 

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

 

 

-

8


 

  And if they are bound in fetters, and are held in cords of affliction;  

 

 

-

9


 

  Then he showeth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.  

 

 

-

10


 

  He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.  

 

 

-

11


 

  If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.  

 

 

-

12


 

  But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.  

 

 

-

13


 

  But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.  

 

 

-

14


 

  They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.  

 

 

-

15


 

  He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.  

 

 

-

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 would be full of fatness.  

 

 

-

17


 

  But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.  

 

 

-

18


 

  Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.  

 

 

-

19


 

  Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.  

 

 

-

20


 

  Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.  

 

 

-

21


 

  Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.  

 

 

-

22


 

  Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?  

 

 

-

23


 

  Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?  

 

 

-

24


 

  Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.  

 

 

-

25


 

  Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.  

 

 

-

26


 

  Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.  

 

 

-

27


 

  For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapor of it.  

 

 

-

28


 

  Which the clouds do drop and distill upon man abundantly.  

 

 

-

29


 

  Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?  

 

 

-

30


 

  Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.  

 

 

-

31


 

  For by them he judgeth the people; he giveth food in abundance.  

 

 

-

32


 

  With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the intervening cloud.  

 

 

-

33


 

  The noise of it showeth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapor.
