035:001 | Elihu spake moreover, and said, |
035:002 | Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's? |
035:003 | For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin? |
035:004 | I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee. |
035:005 | Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou. |
035:006 | If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him? |
035:007 | If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand? |
035:008 | Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man. |
035:009 | By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty. |
035:010 | But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; |
035:011 | Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven? |
035:012 | There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men. |
035:013 | Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it. |
035:014 | Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him. |
035:015 | But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity: |
035:016 | Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge. |
036:001 | Elihu also proceeded, and said, |
036:002 | Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf. |
036:003 | I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker. |
036:004 | For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee. |
036:005 | Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom. |
036:006 | He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor. |
036:007 | 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. |
036:008 | And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction; |
036:009 | Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded. |
036:010 | He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity. |
036:011 | If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. |
036:012 | But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. |
036:013 | But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them. |
036:014 | They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean. |
036:015 | He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression. |
036:016 | 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. |
036:017 | But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee. |
036:018 | Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee. |
036:019 | Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength. |
036:020 | Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place. |
036:021 | Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction. |
036:022 | Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him? |
036:023 | Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity? |
036:024 | Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold. |
036:025 | Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off. |
036:026 | Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out. |
036:027 | For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof: |
036:028 | Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly. |
036:029 | Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle? |
036:030 | Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea. |
036:031 | For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance. |
036:032 | With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt. |
036:033 | The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour. |
037:001 | At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place. |
037:002 | Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth. |
037:003 | He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth. |
037:004 | After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. |
037:005 | God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. |
037:006 | For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength. |
037:007 | He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work. |
037:008 | Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places. |
037:009 | Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north. |
037:010 | By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened. |
037:011 | Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud: |
037:012 | And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth. |
037:013 | He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy. |
037:014 | Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. |
037:015 | Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine? |
037:016 | Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge? |
037:017 | How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind? |
037:018 | Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass? |
037:019 | Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness. |
037:020 | Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up. |
037:021 | And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them. |
037:022 | Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty. |
037:023 | Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict. |
037:024 | Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart. |
