ULT JOB Chapter 36

◄ JOB 36 ► ║ ═ ©

36 And Elihu continued and said,

2 “Be patient with me a little and I will show you,

for [there are yet words to God.

3 I will carry my knowledge to from afar,

and I will attribute righteousness to my Maker.

4 For truly my words will not be false;

the complete in knowledge is with you.

5 Behold, God is mighty, and he does not despise;

mighty, strong in heart.

6 He does not keep the wicked alive,

but he gives the lowly justice.

7 He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous,

but he sets them on a throne with kings forever,

and they rise high.

8 But if they are bound in chains

and they are caught in cords of affliction,

9 then he declares to them their deeds and their transgressions,

for they magnified themselves,

10 and he opens their ear to correction

and says that they shall return from iniquity.

11 If they hear and serve him,

they will complete their days in good

and their years in pleasantness.

12 But if they do not hear, they will cross over by a weapon,

and they will expire as without knowledge.

13 And the godless of heart keep the nose;

they do not cry out when he binds them.

14 Their soul dies in youth,

and their life is among the cultic prostitutes.

15 He delivers the afflicted by his affliction,

and he opens their ear by oppression.

16 And indeed, he has drawn you from the mouth of distress

to a broad place with no constriction under it,

and the setting of your table he has filled with fatness.

17 But you are full of the judgment of the wicked;

judgment and justice take hold.

18 For wrath, lest it entice you into clapping,

and the greatness of a ransom will not deliver you.

19 Will he esteem your riches?

Not gold or all of the strengths of wealth!

20 Do not desire the night,

which is to the departing of peoples from their place.

21 Watch yourself, do not turn to sin,

for you have chosen upon that rather than affliction.

22 Behold, God causes to be high in his power.

Who is a teacher like him?

23 Who has appointed his way to him?

Or who has said, ‘You have committed unrighteousness?’

24 Remember that you magnify his work,

which men have sung.

25 Every man has looked upon it;

man has regarded from afar.

26 Behold, God is great, but we do not know him;

the number of his years, indeed, there is no searching.

27 For he draws up the drops of water,

they distill as rain into his stream,

28 which the clouds pour down,

they drop upon man in abundance.

29 Indeed, if one will understand the spread of the cloud,

the thunder from his hut?

30 Behold, he spreads his lightning upon it,

and he covers the roots of the sea.

31 For by them he judges the peoples;

he gives food in abundance.

32 He covers over his hands with lightning

and he enjoins upon it against the mark.

33 He declares his shout about it;

the cattle also about the thing arising.
