Job 35 ~ 37

Settings

35:1Then Elihu continued and said, Compare
35:2Do you consider this to be just, / Do you say, My righteousness is more than God's, Compare
35:3That you say, What advantage is there to me, / What do I profit, more than if I had sinned? Compare
35:4I will respond to you with words, / And to your companions with you. Compare
35:5Look unto heaven and see; / And behold the skies: They are higher than you. Compare
35:6If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him? / And if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to Him? Compare
35:7If you are righteous, what can you give to Him, / Or what does He receive from your hand? Compare
35:8Your wickedness affects a man like you, / And your righteousness, a son of man. Compare
35:9Because of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; / They cry for help because of the arm of the mighty. Compare
35:10But no one says, Where is God my Maker, / Who gives songs in the night, Compare
35:11Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth / And makes us wiser than the birds of heaven? Compare
35:12There they cry, but He does not answer, / Because of the pride of evil men. Compare
35:13Surely God does not hear an empty cry, / And the Almighty does not regard it. Compare
35:14How much less when you say that you do not behold Him, / That the cause is before Him and you are waiting on Him! Compare
35:15But now, because He has not visited in His anger / Nor regarded such great arrogance, Compare
35:16Job opens his mouth in vanity; / He multiplies words without knowledge. Compare
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
37:1At this, too, my heart trembles / And leaps from its place. Compare
37:2Hear attentively the noise of His voice / And the sound that goes forth from His mouth. Compare
37:3He sends it forth under the whole heaven, / And His lightning unto the ends of the earth. Compare
37:4After it a voice roars; / He thunders with the voice of His majesty / And does not withhold the lightning / When His voice is heard. Compare
37:5God thunders wondrously with His voice; / He does great things that we cannot comprehend. Compare
37:6For He says to the snow, Fall on the earth, / And to the rain shower and His mighty showers of rain. Compare
37:7He seals the hand of every man, / That all men may know His doing. Compare
37:8Then the beast enters its lair / And remains in its dens. Compare
37:9Out of its chamber comes the whirlwind, / And from scattering winds, cold. Compare
37:10From the breath of God ice is yielded, / And the expanse of waters is frozen. Compare
37:11He also loads the thick clouds with moisture; / He scatters His lightning clouds; Compare
37:12And they turn about by His guidance, / That they may accomplish / All that He has commanded them / Upon the surface of the inhabited earth; Compare
37:13Whether for scourge or for His land / Or for lovingkindness' sake, He causes it to happen. Compare
37:14Give ear to this, Job; / Stand still and consider the wondrous acts of God. Compare
37:15Do you know how God lays His charge upon them / And causes His lightning clouds to shine? Compare
37:16Do you know about the balancing of the thick clouds, / The wondrous acts of Him who is perfect in knowledge? Compare
37:17You whose garments heat up / When, because of the south wind, the earth is still, Compare
37:18Can you spread out the skies with Him, / The skies which are as hard as a molten mirror? Compare
37:19Teach us what to say to Him; / We cannot arrange our words because of the darkness. Compare
37:20Should it be said to Him, I will speak? / Or should a man say that he will be swallowed up? Compare
37:21But now men do not look at the light, / Which is brilliant in the skies / When the wind has passed and cleared them. Compare
37:22Out of the north comes golden splendor; / Upon God is the awesomeness of majesty. Compare
37:23The Almighty-we cannot find Him out; / He is excellent in power, / And justice and the abundance of righteousness He will not damage. Compare
37:24Therefore men fear Him; / He does not look upon any who are wise of heart. Compare
