Job 36:1-25
Job 36:1-25
-
1And Elihu continued, and said:
-
2"Bear with me a little, and I will show you, for I have yet something to say on God's behalf.
-
3I will get my knowledge from afar and ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
-
4For truly my words are not false; one who is perfect in knowledge is with you.
-
5"Behold, God is mighty, and does not despise any; he is mighty in strength of understanding.
-
6He does not keep the wicked alive, but gives the afflicted their right.
-
7He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne he sets them forever, and they are exalted.
-
8And if they are bound in chains and caught in the cords of affliction,
-
9then he declares to them their work and their transgressions, that they are behaving arrogantly.
-
10He opens their ears to instruction and commands that they return from iniquity.
-
11If they listen and serve him, they complete their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasantness.
-
12But if they do not listen, they perish by the sword and die without knowledge.
-
13"The godless in heart cherish anger; they do not cry for help when he binds them.
-
14They die in youth, and their life ends among the cult prostitutes.
-
15He delivers the afflicted by their affliction and opens their ear by adversity.
-
16He also allured you out of distress into a broad place where there was no cramping, and what was set on your table was full of fatness.
-
17"But you are full of the judgment on the wicked; judgment and justice seize you.
-
18Beware lest wrath entice you into scoffing, and let not the greatness of the ransom turn you aside.
-
19Will your cry for help avail to keep you from distress, or all the force of your strength?
-
20Do not long for the night, when peoples vanish in their place.
-
21Take care; do not turn to iniquity, for this you have chosen rather than affliction.
-
22Behold, God is exalted in his power; who is a teacher like him?
-
23Who has prescribed for him his way, or who can say, 'You have done wrong'?
-
24"Remember to extol his work, of which men have sung.
-
25All mankind has looked on it; man beholds it from afar.
