JOB C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 C9 C10 C11 C12 C13 C14 C15 C16 C17 C18 C19 C20 C21 C22 C23 C24 C25 C26 C27 C28 C29 C30 C31 C32 C33 C34 C35 C36 C37 C38 C39 C40 C41 C42
36 Then Elihu continued:
2 Wait, I pray, but a while; I will show thee:
I have yet to say somewhat for God.
3 With knowledge fetched from afar
I will justify my Creator.
4 For truly my words are no lie;
One in knowledge complete stands before thee.
5 Behold, God spurneth the stubborn,
6 The wicked He spareth not:
But He granteth the rights of the wretched,
7 Withdraws not their due from the just.
It has happened to kings on the throne,
seated in pride and glory,
8 That prisoners in chains they became,
Held fast in the cords of misery:
9 Then He set forth before them their doings,
Their proud and rebellious behaviour;
10 He opened their ears to instruction
And bade them turn back from sin.
11 If they hearken and do Him homage,
They finish their days in prosperity.
12 But if stubborn, they pass to Sheol,
They die without coming to knowledge.
13 For, godless at heart, they grow sullen;
They cry not for help when He binds them.
14 They die in the days of their youth,
Like sodomites they perish.
15 The sufferer He saveth through sufferings;
Adversity opens his ear.
16 But thou hast been lured by thy freedom,
By ease at the jaws of distress,
By the fat on thy well-filled table,
And the absence of trouble to haunt thee.
17 The full fate of the wicked is thine;
Thou art held in the grasp of His judgment.
18 Let not chastisement make thee resentful,
Nor let the high ransom deflect thee.
19 Wouldst thou marshall thy plaint against Him,
And all the resource of thy might?
20 Let not folly beguile thee to rival
The man who doth think himself wise.
21 Beware, and incline not to sin,
Nor make choice of sin rather than suffering.
God’s Marvellous Ways in Nature
22 See! God by His power doeth loftily–
Who is a teacher like Him?
23 Who hath enjoined Him His way?
Or who hath said, "Thou doest wrongly"?
24 Remember to magnify Him
For His work, whereof men have sung.
25 All men look with pleasure thereon,
Though man seeth it but from afar.
26 Behold! God is great beyond knowledge,
The tale of His years beyond search.
27 For He draweth up drops from the sea,
Which He poureth in rain from His Vapour,
28 Wherewith, as the clouds distil,
They drop down in showers upon men.
29 Who can tell how the clouds are spread out,
How He thunders from His pavilion?
30 He spreadeth His vapour around Him;
He covers the tops of the mountains.
31 Therewith He sustaineth the nations,
And food in abundance He giveth.
32 He wrappeth His hands in the lightning,
And biddeth it fly to its mark.
33 His thunder announces His coming;
His anger is kindled at wrong.
