36:1And Elihu added this and said, Compare
36:2Bear with me a little, and I will show you; / For there is more to say for God. Compare
36:3I will bring my knowledge from afar / And will ascribe righteousness to my Maker. Compare
36:4For truly my words are not false; / One perfect in knowledge is with you. Compare
36:5Indeed, God is mighty and does not despise; / He is mighty in strength of understanding. Compare
36:6He does not preserve the wicked man alive, / But gives justice to the afflicted. Compare
36:7He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous; / And with kings on the throne, / He sets them forever, and they are exalted. Compare
36:8And if they are bound in fetters, / If they are caught in the cords of affliction, Compare
36:9He shows them their work / And their transgressions, that they have acted arrogantly. Compare
36:10He also opens their ear to instruction / And commands that they return from iniquity. Compare
36:11If they hear and serve Him, / They will spend their days in prosperity / And their years in pleasantness. Compare
36:12But if they do not hear, they will pass away by the sword / And die without knowledge. Compare
36:13But those who are profane in heart lay up anger; / They do not cry for help when He binds them. Compare
36:14They die in youth, / And their life ends among the most defiled. Compare
36:15He rescues the afflicted by their affliction / And opens their ear through oppression. Compare
36:16Indeed He allures you from the jaws of distress / Into a spacious place, where there is no constraint; / And what is upon your table is full of fatness. Compare
36:17But you are filled with the judgment of the wicked; / Judgment and litigation have taken hold of you. Compare
36:18Beware lest wrath allures you into scoffing, / And do not let the greatness of the ransom turn you aside. Compare
36:19Will your cry keep you from being in distress, / Or all the forces of your strength? Compare
36:20Do not long for the night, / When people are taken from their place. Compare
36:21Take heed; do not turn toward iniquity; / For you have chosen this rather than affliction. Compare
36:22Indeed, God is exalted in His power: / Who is a teacher like Him? Compare
36:23Who has appointed His way for Him? / And who says, You have done wrong? Compare
36:24Remember to magnify His work, / Of which men sing. Compare
36:25All mankind has gazed on it; / Man beholds it from afar. Compare
36:26Indeed, God is great, and we do not know Him; / The number of His years we also cannot search out. Compare
36:27For He draws up the drops of water / Which distill into rain from His mist, Compare
36:28Which the skies pour down / And drop upon man abundantly. Compare
36:29Can they indeed understand the spreading of the clouds, / The thunderings of His pavilion? Compare
36:30Indeed, He scatters His lightning around Him / And covers the roots of the sea. Compare
36:31For by these He judges the peoples; / He gives food in abundance. Compare
36:32He fills His hands with lightning / And commands it to strike the mark. Compare
36:33Its noise tells of Him; / The cattle as well tell concerning Him who is coming. Compare
