Job 36 — LSV

36Verse 1And Elihu adds and says:^{Verse 2}“Honor me a little, and I show you, || That yet for God [are] words.^{Verse 3}I lift up my knowledge from afar, || And I ascribe righteousness to my Maker.^{Verse 4}For my words [are] truly not false, || The perfect in knowledge [is] with you.^{Verse 5}Behold, God [is] mighty, and does not despise, || Mighty [in] power [and] heart.^{Verse 6}He does not revive the wicked, || And appoints the judgment of the poor;^{Verse 7}He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous, || And [from] kings on the throne, || And causes them to sit forever, and they are high,^{Verse 8}And if prisoners in chains || They are captured with cords of affliction,^{Verse 9}Then He declares to them their work, || And their transgressions, || Because they have become mighty,^{Verse 10}And He uncovers their ear for instruction, || And commands that they turn back from iniquity.^{Verse 11}If they hear and serve, || They complete their days in good, || And their years in pleasantness.^{Verse 12}And if they do not listen, || They pass away by the dart, || And expire without knowledge.^{Verse 13}And the profane in heart set the face, || They do not cry when He has bound them.^{Verse 14}Their soul dies in youth, || And their life among the defiled.^{Verse 15}He draws out the afflicted in his affliction, || And uncovers their ear in oppression.^{Verse 16}And He also moved you from a narrow place || [To] a broad place—no constriction under it, || And the sitting beyond of your table has been full of fatness.^{Verse 17}And you have fulfilled the judgment of the wicked, || Judgment and justice are upheld because of fury,^{Verse 18}Lest He move you with a stroke, || And the abundance of an atonement not turn you aside.^{Verse 19}Does He value your riches? He has gold, and all the forces of power.^{Verse 20}Do not desire the night, || For the going up of peoples in their stead.^{Verse 21}Take heed—do not turn to iniquity, || For you have fixed on this || Rather than [on] affliction.^{Verse 22}Behold, God sits on high by His power, || Who [is] like Him—a teacher?^{Verse 23}Who has appointed to Him His way? And who said, You have done iniquity?^{Verse 24}Remember that you magnify His work || That men have beheld.^{Verse 25}All men have looked on it, || Man looks attentively from afar.^{Verse 26}Behold, God [is] high, || And we do not know the number of His years, || Indeed, there [is] no searching.^{Verse 27}When He diminishes droppings of the waters, || They refine rain according to its vapor,^{Verse 28}Which clouds drop, || They distill on man abundantly.^{Verse 29}Indeed, do [any] understand || The spreadings out of a cloud? The noises of His dwelling place?^{Verse 30}Behold, He has spread His light over it, || And He has covered the roots of the sea,^{Verse 31}For He judges peoples by them, || He gives food in abundance.^{Verse 32}By two palms He has covered the light, || And lays a charge over it in meeting,^{Verse 33}His shout shows it, || The livestock also, the rising [storm].”
