OEB JOB Chapter 36

JOB 36 ©

36Then Elihu continued:

2Wait, I pray, but a while; I will show thee:

I have yet to say somewhat for God.

3With knowledge fetched from afar

I will justify my Creator.

4For truly my words are no lie;

One in knowledge complete stands before thee.

5Behold, God spurneth the stubborn,

6The wicked He spareth not:

But He granteth the rights of the wretched,

7Withdraws not their due from the just.

It has happened to kings on the throne,

seated in pride and glory,

8That prisoners in chains they became,

Held fast in the cords of misery:

9Then He set forth before them their doings,

Their proud and rebellious behaviour;

10He opened their ears to instruction

And bade them turn back from sin.

11If they hearken and do Him homage,

They finish their days in prosperity.

12But if stubborn, they pass to Sheol,

They die without coming to knowledge.

13For, godless at heart, they grow sullen;

They cry not for help when He binds them.

14They die in the days of their youth,

Like sodomites they perish.

15The sufferer He saveth through sufferings;

Adversity opens his ear.

16But 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.

17The full fate of the wicked is thine;

Thou art held in the grasp of His judgment.

18Let not chastisement make thee resentful,

Nor let the high ransom deflect thee.

19Wouldst thou marshall thy plaint against Him,

And all the resource of thy might?

20Let not folly beguile thee to rival

The man who doth think himself wise.

21Beware, and incline not to sin,

Nor make choice of sin rather than suffering.

God’s Marvellous Ways in Nature

22See! God by His power doeth loftily–

Who is a teacher like Him?

23Who hath enjoined Him His way?

Or who hath said, "Thou doest wrongly"?

24Remember to magnify Him

For His work, whereof men have sung.

25All men look with pleasure thereon,

Though man seeth it but from afar.

26Behold! God is great beyond knowledge,

The tale of His years beyond search.

27For He draweth up drops from the sea,

Which He poureth in rain from His Vapour,

28Wherewith, as the clouds distil,

They drop down in showers upon men.

29Who can tell how the clouds are spread out,

How He thunders from His pavilion?

30He spreadeth His vapour around Him;

He covers the tops of the mountains.

31Therewith He sustaineth the nations,

And food in abundance He giveth.

32He wrappeth His hands in the lightning,

And biddeth it fly to its mark.

33His thunder announces His coming;

His anger is kindled at wrong.
