Job 36

1Elihu^H453 also proceeded^H3254, and said^H559, 2Suffer^H3803 me a little^H2191, and I will show^H2331 thee; For I have yet somewhat to say^H4405 on God's^H433 behalf. 3I will fetch^H5375 my knowledge^H1843 from afar^H7350, And will ascribe^H5414 righteousness^H6664 to my Maker^H6466. 4For truly^H551 my words^H4405 are not false^H8267: One that is perfect^H8549 in knowledge^H1844 is with thee. 5Behold, God^H410 is mighty^H3524, and despiseth^H3988 not any: He is mighty^H3524 in strength^H3581 of understanding^H3820. 6He preserveth not the life^H2421 of the wicked^H7563, But giveth^H5414 to the afflicted^H6041 their right^H4941. 7He withdraweth^H1639 not his eyes^H5869 from the righteous^H6662: But with kings^H4428 upon the throne^H3678 He setteth^H3427 them for ever^H5331, and they are exalted^H1361. 8And if they be bound^H631 in fetters^H2131, And be taken^H3920 in the cords^H2256 of afflictions^H6040; 9Then he showeth^H5046 them their work^H6467, And their transgressions^H6588, that they have behaved themselves proudly^H1396. 10He openeth^H1540 also their ear^H241 to instruction^H4148, And commandeth^H559 that they return^H7725 from iniquity^H205. 11If they hearken^H8085 and serve^H5647 him, They shall spend^H3615 their days^H3117 in prosperity^H2896, And their years^H8141 in pleasures^H5273. 12But if they hearken^H8085 not, they shall perish^H5674 by the sword^H7973, And they shall die^H1478 without knowledge^H1847. 13But they that are godless^H2611 in heart^H3820 lay up^H7760 anger^H639: They cry^H7768 not for help when he bindeth^H631 them. 14They^H5315 die^H4191 in youth^H5290, And their life^H2416 perisheth among the unclean^H6945. 15He delivereth^H2502 the afflicted^H6041 by their affliction^H6040, And openeth^H1540 their ear^H241 in oppression^H3906. 16Yea, he would have allured^H5496 thee out of distress^H6310 Into a broad place^H7338, where^H8478 there is no straitness^H4164; And that which is set^H5183 on thy table^H7979 would be full^H4390 of fatness^H1880. 17But thou art full^H4390 of the judgment^H1779 of the wicked^H7563: Judgment^H1779 and justice^H1779 take hold^H8551 on thee. 18For let not wrath^H2534 stir thee up against^H5496 chastisements^H5607; Neither let the greatness^H7230 of the ransom^H3724 turn thee aside^H5186. 19Will thy cry^H7769 avail^H6186, that thou be not in distress^H1222, Or all the forces^H3981 of thy strength^H3581? 20Desire^H7602 not the night^H3915, When peoples^H5971 are cut off^H5927 in their place. 21Take heed^H8104, regard^H6437 not iniquity^H205: For this hast thou chosen^H977 rather than affliction^H6040. 22Behold, God^H410 doeth loftily^H7682 in his power^H3581: Who is a teacher^H3384 like unto him? 23Who hath enjoined^H6485 him his way^H1870? Or who can say^H559, Thou hast wrought^H6466 unrighteousness^H5766? 24Remember^H2142 that thou magnify^H7679 his work^H6467, Whereof men^H582 have sung^H7891. 25All men^H120 have looked^H2372 thereon; Man^H582 beholdeth^H5027 it afar off^H7350. 26Behold, God^H410 is great^H7689, and we know^H3045 him not; The number^H4557 of his years^H8141 is unsearchable^H2714. 27For he draweth up^H1639 the drops^H5198 of water^H4325, Which distil^H2212 in rain^H4306 from his vapor^H108, 28Which the skies^H7834 pour down^H7491 And drop^H5140 upon man^H120 abundantly^H7227. 29Yea, can any understand^H995 the spreadings^H4666 of the clouds^H5645, The thunderings^H8663 of his pavilion^H5521? 30Behold, he spreadeth^H6566 his light^H216 around him; And he covereth^H3680 the bottom^H8328 of the sea^H3220. 31For by these he judgeth^H1777 the peoples^H5971; He giveth^H5414 food^H400 in abundance^H4342. 32He covereth^H3680 his hands^H3709 with the lightning^H216, And giveth it a charge^H6680 that it strike the mark^H6293. 33The noise^H7452 thereof telleth^H5046 concerning him, The cattle^H4735 also concerning the storm^H5927 that cometh up.
