36:1 Elihu also proceeded, and said,
36:2 Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee
that I have yet to speak on God's behalf.
36:3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
36:4 For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.
36:5 Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
36:6 He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.
36:7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the
throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.
36:8 And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;
36:9 Then he sheweth them their work, and
their transgressions that they have exceeded.
36:10 He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from
iniquity.
36:11 If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their
years in pleasures.
36:12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without
knowledge.
36:13 But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.
36:14 They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
36:15 He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.
36:16 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 should be full of fatness.
36:17 But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold
on thee.
36:18 Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great
ransom cannot deliver thee.
36:19 Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
36:20 Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
36:21 Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
36:22 Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
36:23 Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?
36:24 Remember that thou magnify his work,
which men behold.
36:25 Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.
36:26 Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be
searched out.
36:27 For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour
thereof:
36:28 Which the clouds do drop and distil upon
man abundantly.
36:29 Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his
tabernacle?
36:30 Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it,
and covereth the bottom of the sea.
36:31 For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.
36:32 With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that
cometh betwixt.
36:33 The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.
