Job 32:4--37:24

32:4

Now Elihu
<0453>

had waited
<02442> (8765)

till Job
<0347>

had spoken
<01697>_,

because they [were] elder
<02205> <03117>

than he. {waited...: Heb. expected Job in words} {elder: Heb. elder for days}

32:5

When Elihu
<0453>

saw
<07200> (8799)

that [there was] no answer
<04617>

in the mouth
<06310>

of [these] three
<07969>

men
<0582>_,

then his wrath
<0639>

was kindled
<02734> (8799)_.

32:6

And Elihu
<0453>

the son
<01121>

of Barachel
<01292>

the Buzite
<0940>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

I [am] young
<06810> <03117>_,

and ye [are] very old
<03453>_;

wherefore I was afraid
<02119> (8804)_,

and durst
<03372> (8799)

not shew
<02331> (8763)

you mine opinion
<01843>_.

{young: Heb. few of days} {durst...: Heb. feared}

32:7

I said
<0559> (8804)_,

Days
<03117>

should speak
<01696> (8762)_,

and multitude
<07230>

of years
<08141>

should teach
<03045> (8686)

wisdom
<02451>_.

32:8

But
<0403>

[there is] a spirit
<07307>

in man
<0582>_:

and the inspiration
<05397>

of the Almighty
<07706>

giveth them understanding
<0995> (8799)_.

32:9

Great men
<07227>

are not [always] wise
<02449> (8799)_:

neither do the aged
<02205>

understand
<0995> (8799)

judgment
<04941>_.

32:10

Therefore I said
<0559> (8804)_,

Hearken
<08085> (8798)

to me; I also will shew
<02331> (8762)

mine opinion
<01843>_.

32:11

Behold, I waited
<03176> (8689)

for your words
<01697>_;

I gave ear
<0238> (8686)

to your reasons
<08394>_,

whilst ye searched out
<02713> (8799)

what to say
<04405>_.

{reasons: Heb. understandings} {what...: Heb. words}

32:12

Yea, I attended
<0995> (8709)

unto you, and, behold, [there was] none of you that convinced
<03198> (8688)

Job
<0347>_,

[or] that answered
<06030> (8802)

his words
<0561>_:

32:13

Lest ye should say
<0559> (8799)_,

We have found out
<04672> (8804)

wisdom
<02451>_:

God
<0410>

thrusteth him down
<05086> (8799)_,

not man
<0376>_.

32:14

Now he hath not directed
<06186> (8804)

[his] words
<04405>

against me: neither will I answer
<07725> (8686)

him with your speeches
<0561>_.

{directed: or, ordered}

32:15

They were amazed
<02865> (8804)_,

they answered
<06030> (8804)

no more: they left off
<06275> (8689)

speaking
<04405>_.

{left...: Heb. removed speeches from themselves}

32:16

When I had waited
<03176> (8689)_,

(for they spake
<01696> (8762)

not, but stood still
<05975> (8804)_,

[and] answered
<06030> (8804)

no more;)

32:17

[I said], I will answer
<06030> (8799)

also my part
<02506>_,

I also will shew
<02331> (8762)

mine opinion
<01843>_.

32:18

For I am full
<04390> (8804)

of matter
<04405>_,

the spirit
<07307>

within
<0990>

me constraineth
<06693> (8689)

me. {matter: Heb. words} {spirit...: Heb. spirit of my belly}

32:19

Behold, my belly
<0990>

[is] as wine
<03196>

[which] hath no vent
<06605> (8735)_;

it is ready to burst
<01234> (8735)

like new
<02319>

bottles
<0178>_.

{hath...: Heb. is not opened}

32:20

I will speak
<01696> (8762)_,

that I may be refreshed
<07304> (8799)_:

I will open
<06605> (8799)

my lips
<08193>

and answer
<06030> (8799)_.

{be...: Heb. breathe}

32:21

Let me not, I pray you, accept
<05375> (8799)

any man's
<0376>

person
<06440>_,

neither let me give flattering titles
<03655> (8762)

unto man
<0120>_.

32:22

For I know
<03045> (8804)

not to give flattering titles
<03655> (8762)_;

[in so doing] my maker
<06213> (8802)

would soon
<04592>

take me away
<05375> (8799)_.

33:1

Wherefore
<0199>_,

Job
<0347>_,

I pray thee, hear
<08085> (8798)

my speeches
<04405>_,

and hearken
<0238> (8685)

to all my words
<01697>_.

33:2

Behold, now I have opened
<06605> (8804)

my mouth
<06310>_,

my tongue
<03956>

hath spoken
<01696> (8765)

in my mouth
<02441>_.

{in my mouth: Heb. in my palate}

33:3

My words
<0561>

[shall be of] the uprightness
<03476>

of my heart
<03820>_:

and my lips
<08193>

shall utter
<04448> (8765)

knowledge
<01847>

clearly
<01305> (8803)_.

33:4

The Spirit
<07307>

of God
<0410>

hath made
<06213> (8804)

me, and the breath
<05397>

of the Almighty
<07706>

hath given me life
<02421> (8762)_.

33:5

If thou canst
<03201> (8799)

answer
<07725> (8687)

me, set [thy words] in order
<06186> (8798)

before
<06440>

me, stand up
<03320> (8690)_.

33:6

Behold, I [am] according to thy wish
<06310>

in God's
<0410>

stead: I also am formed
<07169> (8795)

out of the clay
<02563>_.

{wish: Heb. mouth} {formed: Heb. cut}

33:7

Behold, my terror
<0367>

shall not make thee afraid
<01204> (8762)_,

neither shall my hand
<0405>

be heavy
<03513> (8799)

upon thee.

33:8

Surely thou hast spoken
<0559> (8804)

in mine hearing
<0241>_,

and I have heard
<08085> (8799)

the voice
<06963>

of [thy] words
<04405>_,

[saying], {hearing: Heb. ears}

33:9

I am clean
<02134>

without transgression
<06588>_,

I [am] innocent
<02643>_;

neither [is there] iniquity
<05771>

in me.

33:10

Behold, he findeth
<04672> (8799)

occasions
<08569>

against me, he counteth
<02803> (8799)

me for his enemy
<0341> (8802)_,

33:11

He putteth
<07760> (8799)

my feet
<07272>

in the stocks
<05465>_,

he marketh
<08104> (8799)

all my paths
<0734>_.

33:12

Behold, [in] this thou art not just
<06663> (8804)_:

I will answer
<06030> (8799)

thee, that God
<0433>

is greater
<07235> (8799)

than man
<0582>_.

33:13

Why dost thou strive
<07378> (8804)

against him? for he giveth not account
<06030> (8799)

of any of his matters
<01697>_.

{he giveth...: Heb. he answereth not}

33:14

For God
<0410>

speaketh
<01696> (8762)

once
<0259>_,

yea twice
<08147>_,

[yet man] perceiveth
<07789> (8799)

it not.

33:15

In a dream
<02472>_,

in a vision
<02384>

of the night
<03915>_,

when deep
<08639>

sleep falleth
<05307> (8800)

upon men
<0582>_,

in slumberings
<08572>

upon the bed
<04904>_;

33:16

Then he openeth
<01540> (8799)

the ears
<0241>

of men
<0582>_,

and sealeth
<02856> (8799)

their instruction
<04561>_,

{he...: Heb. he revealeth, or, uncovereth}

33:17

That he may withdraw
<05493> (8687)

man
<0120>

[from his] purpose
<04639>_,

and hide
<03680> (8762)

pride
<01466>

from man
<01397>_.

{purpose: Heb. work}

33:18

He keepeth back
<02820> (8799)

his soul
<05315>

from the pit
<07845>_,

and his life
<02416>

from perishing
<05674> (8800)

by the sword
<07973>_.

{from perishing: Heb. from passing}

33:19

He is chastened
<03198> (8717)

also with pain
<04341>

upon his bed
<04904>_,

and the multitude
<07230> (8675) <07379>

of his bones
<06106>

with strong
<0386>

[pain]:

33:20

So that his life
<02416>

abhorreth
<02092> (8765)

bread
<03899>_,

and his soul
<05315>

dainty
<08378>

meat
<03978>_.

{dainty...: Heb. meat of desire}

33:21

His flesh
<01320>

is consumed away
<03615> (8799)_,

that it cannot be seen
<07210>_;

and his bones
<06106>

[that] were not seen
<07200> (8795)

stick out
<08192> (8795) (8675) <08205>_.

33:22

Yea, his soul
<05315>

draweth near
<07126> (8799)

unto the grave
<07845>_,

and his life
<02416>

to the destroyers
<04191> (8688)_.

33:23

If there
<03426>

be a messenger
<04397>

with him, an interpreter
<03887> (8688)_,

one
<0259>

among a thousand
<0505>_,

to shew
<05046> (8687)

unto man
<0120>

his uprightness
<03476>_:

33:24

Then he is gracious
<02603> (8799)

unto him, and saith
<0559> (8799)_,

Deliver
<06308> (8798)

him from going down
<03381> (8800)

to the pit
<07845>_:

I have found
<04672> (8804)

a ransom
<03724>_.

{a ransom: or, an atonement}

33:25

His flesh
<01320>

shall be fresher
<07375> (8738)

than a child's
<05290>_:

he shall return
<07725> (8799)

to the days
<03117>

of his youth
<05934>_:

{a child's: Heb. childhood}

33:26

He shall pray
<06279> (8799)

unto God
<0433>_,

and he will be favourable
<07521> (8799)

unto him: and he shall see
<07200> (8799)

his face
<06440>

with joy
<08643>_:

for he will render
<07725> (8686)

unto man
<0582>

his righteousness
<06666>_.

33:27

He looketh
<07789> (8799)

upon men
<0582>_,

and [if any] say
<0559> (8799)_,

I have sinned
<02398> (8804)_,

and perverted
<05753> (8689)

[that which was] right
<03477>_,

and it profited
<07737> (8804)

me not; {He...: or, He shall look upon men, and say}

33:28

He will deliver
<06299> (8804)

his soul
<05315>

from going
<05674> (8800)

into the pit
<07845>_,

and his life
<02416>

shall see
<07200> (8799)

the light
<0216>_.

{He...: or, He hath delivered my soul, etc, and my life}

33:29

Lo, all these [things] worketh
<06466> (8799)

God
<0410>

oftentimes
<06471> <07969>

with man
<01397>_,

{oftentimes: Heb. twice and thrice}

33:30

To bring back
<07725> (8687)

his soul
<05315>

from the pit
<07845>_,

to be enlightened
<0215> (8736)

with the light
<0216>

of the living
<02416>_.

33:31

Mark well
<07181> (8685)_,

O Job
<0347>_,

hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto me: hold thy peace
<02790> (8685)_,

and I will speak
<01696> (8762)_.

33:32

If thou hast
<03426>

any thing to say
<04405>_,

answer
<07725> (8685)

me: speak
<01696> (8761)_,

for I desire
<02654> (8804)

to justify
<06663> (8763)

thee.

33:33

If not, hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto me: hold thy peace
<02790> (8685)_,

and I shall teach
<0502> (8762)

thee wisdom
<02451>_.

34:1

Furthermore Elihu
<0453>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

34:2

Hear
<08085> (8798)

my words
<04405>_,

O ye wise
<02450>

[men]; and give ear
<0238> (8685)

unto me, ye that have knowledge
<03045> (8802)_.

34:3

For the ear
<0241>

trieth
<0974> (8799)

words
<04405>_,

as the mouth
<02441>

tasteth
<02938> (8799)

meat
<0398> (8800)_.

{mouth: Heb. palate}

34:4

Let us choose
<0977> (8799)

to us judgment
<04941>_:

let us know
<03045> (8799)

among ourselves what [is] good
<02896>_.

34:5

For Job
<0347>

hath said
<0559> (8804)_,

I am righteous
<06663> (8804)_:

and God
<0410>

hath taken away
<05493> (8689)

my judgment
<04941>_.

34:6

Should I lie
<03576> (8762)

against my right
<04941>_?

my wound
<02671>

[is] incurable
<0605> (8803)

without transgression
<06588>_.

{my wound: Heb. mine arrow}

34:7

What man
<01397>

[is] like Job
<0347>_,

[who] drinketh up
<08354> (8799)

scorning
<03933>

like water
<04325>_?

34:8

Which goeth
<0732> (8804)

in company
<02274>

with the workers
<06466> (8802)

of iniquity
<0205>_,

and walketh
<03212> (8800)

with wicked
<07562>

men
<0582>_.

34:9

For he hath said
<0559> (8804)_,

It profiteth
<05532> (8799)

a man
<01397>

nothing that he should delight
<07521> (8800)

himself with God
<0430>_.

34:10

Therefore hearken
<08085> (8798)

unto me, ye men
<0582>

of understanding
<03824>_:

far be it
<02486>

from God
<0410>_,

[that he should do] wickedness
<07562>_;

and [from] the Almighty
<07706>_,

[that he should commit] iniquity
<05766>_.

{men...: Heb. men of heart}

34:11

For the work
<06467>

of a man
<0120>

shall he render
<07999> (8762)

unto him, and cause every man
<0376>

to find
<04672> (8686)

according to [his] ways
<0734>_.

34:12

Yea, surely
<0551>

God
<0410>

will not do wickedly
<07561> (8686)_,

neither will the Almighty
<07706>

pervert
<05791> (8762)

judgment
<04941>_.

34:13

Who hath given him a charge
<06485> (8804)

over the earth
<0776>_?

or who hath disposed
<07760> (8804)

the whole world
<08398>_?

{the whole: Heb. all of it?}

34:14

If he set
<07760> (8799)

his heart
<03820>

upon man, [if] he gather
<0622> (8799)

unto himself his spirit
<07307>

and his breath
<05397>_;

{man: Heb. him}

34:15

All flesh
<01320>

shall perish
<01478> (8799)

together
<03162>_,

and man
<0120>

shall turn again
<07725> (8799)

unto dust
<06083>_.

34:16

If now [thou hast] understanding
<0998>_,

hear
<08085> (8798)

this: hearken
<0238> (8685)

to the voice
<06963>

of my words
<04405>_.

34:17

Shall even he that hateth
<08130> (8802)

right
<04941>

govern
<02280> (8799)_?

and wilt thou condemn
<07561> (8686)

him that is most
<03524>

just
<06662>_?

{govern: Heb. bind?}

34:18

[Is it fit] to say
<0559> (8800)

to a king
<04428>_,

[Thou art] wicked
<01100>_?

[and] to princes
<05081>_,

[Ye are] ungodly
<07563>_?

34:19

[How much less to him] that accepteth
<05375> (8804)

not the persons
<06440>

of princes
<08269>_,

nor regardeth
<05234> (8765)

the rich
<07771>

more than
<06440>

the poor
<01800>_?

for they all [are] the work
<04639>

of his hands
<03027>_.

34:20

In a moment
<07281>

shall they die
<04191> (8799)_,

and the people
<05971>

shall be troubled
<01607> (8792)

at midnight
<02676> <03915>_,

and pass away
<05674> (8799)_:

and the mighty
<047>

shall be taken away
<05493> (8686)

without hand
<03027>_.

{the mighty...: Heb. they shall take away the mighty}

34:21

For his eyes
<05869>

[are] upon the ways
<01870>

of man
<0376>_,

and he seeth
<07200> (8799)

all his goings
<06806>_.

34:22

[There is] no darkness
<02822>_,

nor shadow of death
<06757>_,

where the workers
<06466> (8802)

of iniquity
<0205>

may hide
<05641> (8736)

themselves.

34:23

For he will not lay
<07760> (8799)

upon man
<0376>

more [than right]; that he should enter
<01980> (8800)

into judgment
<04941>

with God
<0410>_.

{enter: Heb. go}

34:24

He shall break in pieces
<07489> (8799)

mighty men
<03524>

without number
<02714>_,

and set
<05975> (8686)

others
<0312>

in their stead. {number: Heb. searching out}

34:25

Therefore he knoweth
<05234> (8686)

their works
<04566>_,

and he overturneth
<02015> (8804)

[them] in the night
<03915>_,

so that they are destroyed
<01792> (8691)_.

{destroyed: Heb. crushed}

34:26

He striketh
<05606> (8804)

them as
<08478>

wicked men
<07563>

in the open
<04725>

sight
<07200> (8802)

of others; {open...: Heb. place of beholders}

34:27

Because they turned back
<05493> (8804)

from him
<0310>_,

and would not consider
<07919> (8689)

any of his ways
<01870>_:

{him: Heb. after him}

34:28

So that they cause the cry
<06818>

of the poor
<01800>

to come
<0935> (8687)

unto him, and he heareth
<08085> (8799)

the cry
<06818>

of the afflicted
<06041>_.

34:29

When he giveth quietness
<08252> (8686)_,

who then can make trouble
<07561> (8686)_?

and when he hideth
<05641> (8686)

[his] face
<06440>_,

who then can behold
<07789> (8799)

him? whether [it be done] against a nation
<01471>_,

or against a man
<0120>

only
<03162>_:

34:30

That the hypocrite
<0120> <02611>

reign
<04427> (8800)

not, lest the people
<05971>

be ensnared
<04170>_.

34:31

Surely it is meet to be said
<0559> (8736)

unto God
<0410>_,

I have borne
<05375> (8804)

[chastisement], I will not offend
<02254> (8799)

[any more]:

34:32

[That which] I see
<02372> (8799)

not
<01107>

teach
<03384> (8685)

thou me: if I have done
<06466> (8804)

iniquity
<05766>_,

I will do
<03254> (8686)

no more.

34:33

[Should it be] according to thy mind? he will recompense
<07999> (8762)

it, whether thou refuse
<03588> <03988> (8804)_,

or whether thou choose
<0977> (8799)_;

and not I: therefore speak
<01696> (8761)

what thou knowest
<03045> (8804)_.

{according...: Heb. from with thee?}

34:34

Let men
<0582>

of understanding
<03824>

tell
<0559> (8799)

me, and let a wise
<02450>

man
<01397>

hearken
<08085> (8802)

unto me. {of...: Heb. of heart}

34:35

Job
<0347>

hath spoken
<01696> (8762)

without knowledge
<01847>_,

and his words
<01697>

[were] without wisdom
<07919> (8687)_.

34:36

My desire
<015> (8676) <01>

[is that] Job
<0347>

may be tried
<0974> (8735)

unto the end
<05331>

because of [his] answers
<08666>

for wicked
<0205>

men
<0582>_.

{My...: or, My father, let Job be tried}

34:37

For he addeth
<03254> (8686)

rebellion
<06588>

unto his sin
<02403>_,

he clappeth
<05606> (8799)

[his hands] among us, and multiplieth
<07235> (8686)

his words
<0561>

against God
<0410>_.

35:1

Elihu
<0453>

spake
<06030> (8799)

moreover, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

35:2

Thinkest
<02803> (8804)

thou this to be right
<04941>_,

[that] thou saidst
<0559> (8804)_,

My righteousness
<06664>

[is] more than God's
<0410>_?

35:3

For thou saidst
<0559> (8799)_,

What advantage
<05532> (8799)

will it be unto thee? [and], What profit
<03276> (8686)

shall I have, [if I be cleansed] from my sin
<02403>_?

{if...: or, by it more than by my sin}

35:4

I will answer
<07725> (8686) <04405>

thee, and thy companions
<07453>

with thee. {answer...: Heb. return to thee words}

35:5

Look
<05027> (8685)

unto the heavens
<08064>_,

and see
<07200> (8798)_;

and behold
<07789> (8798)

the clouds
<07834>

[which] are higher
<01361> (8804)

than thou.

35:6

If thou sinnest
<02398> (8804)_,

what doest
<06466> (8799)

thou against him? or [if] thy transgressions
<06588>

be multiplied
<07231> (8804)_,

what doest
<06213> (8799)

thou unto him?

35:7

If thou be righteous
<06663> (8804)_,

what givest
<05414> (8799)

thou him? or what receiveth
<03947> (8799)

he of thine hand
<03027>_?

35:8

Thy wickedness
<07562>

[may hurt] a man
<0376>

as thou [art]; and thy righteousness
<06666>

[may profit] the son
<01121>

of man
<0120>_.

35:9

By reason of the multitude
<07230>

of oppressions
<06217>

they make [the oppressed] to cry
<02199> (8686)_:

they cry out
<07768> (8762)

by reason of the arm
<02220>

of the mighty
<07227>_.

35:10

But none saith
<0559> (8804)_,

Where [is] God
<0433>

my maker
<06213> (8802)_,

who giveth
<05414> (8802)

songs
<02158>

in the night
<03915>_;

35:11

Who teacheth
<0502> (8764)

us more than the beasts
<0929>

of the earth
<0776>_,

and maketh us wiser
<02449> (8762)

than the fowls
<05775>

of heaven
<08064>_?

35:12

There they cry
<06817> (8799)_,

but none giveth answer
<06030> (8799)_,

because
<06440>

of the pride
<01347>

of evil men
<07451>_.

35:13

Surely God
<0410>

will not hear
<08085> (8799)

vanity
<07723>_,

neither will the Almighty
<07706>

regard
<07789> (8799)

it.

35:14

Although
<0637>

thou sayest
<0559> (8799)

thou shalt not see
<07789> (8799)

him, [yet] judgment
<01779>

[is] before
<06440>

him; therefore trust
<02342> (8787)

thou in him.

35:15

But now, because [it is] not [so], he hath visited
<06485> (8804)

in his anger
<0639>_;

yet he knoweth
<03045> (8804)

[it] not in great
<03966>

extremity
<06580>_:

{he hath: that is, God hath} {he knoweth: that is, Job knoweth}

35:16

Therefore doth Job
<0347>

open
<06475> (8799)

his mouth
<06310>

in vain
<01892>_;

he multiplieth
<03527> (8686)

words
<04405>

without
<01097>

knowledge
<01847>_.

36:1

Elihu
<0453>

also proceeded
<03254> (8686)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

36:2

Suffer
<03803> (8761)

me a little
<02191>_,

and I will shew
<02331> (8762)

thee that [I have] yet to speak
<04405>

on God's
<0433>

behalf. {I have...: Heb. there are yet words for God}

36:3

I will fetch
<05375> (8799)

my knowledge
<01843>

from afar
<07350>_,

and will ascribe
<05414> (8799)

righteousness
<06664>

to my Maker
<06466> (8802)_.

36:4

For truly
<0551>

my words
<04405>

[shall] not [be] false
<08267>_:

he that is perfect
<08549>

in knowledge
<01844>

[is] with thee.

36:5

Behold, God
<0410>

[is] mighty
<03524>_,

and despiseth
<03988> (8799)

not [any: he is] mighty
<03524>

in strength
<03581>

[and] wisdom
<03820>_.

{wisdom: Heb. heart}

36:6

He preserveth not the life
<02421> (8762)

of the wicked
<07563>_:

but giveth
<05414> (8799)

right
<04941>

to the poor
<06041>_.

{poor: or, afflicted}

36:7

He withdraweth
<01639> (8799)

not his eyes
<05869>

from the righteous
<06662>_:

but with kings
<04428>

[are they] on the throne
<03678>_;

yea, he doth establish
<03427> (8686)

them for ever
<05331>_,

and they are exalted
<01361> (8799)_.

36:8

And if [they be] bound
<0631> (8803)

in fetters
<02131>_,

[and] be holden
<03920> (8735)

in cords
<02256>

of affliction
<06040>_;

36:9

Then he sheweth
<05046> (8686)

them their work
<06467>_,

and their transgressions
<06588>

that they have exceeded
<01396> (8691)_.

36:10

He openeth
<01540> (8799)

also their ear
<0241>

to discipline
<04148>_,

and commandeth
<0559> (8799)

that they return
<07725> (8799)

from iniquity
<0205>_.

36:11

If they obey
<08085> (8799)

and serve
<05647> (8799)

[him], they shall spend
<03615> (8762)

their days
<03117>

in prosperity
<02896>_,

and their years
<08141>

in pleasures
<05273>_.

36:12

But if they obey
<08085> (8799)

not, they shall perish
<05674> (8799)

by the sword
<07973>_,

and they shall die
<01478> (8799)

without knowledge
<01847>_.

{perish: Heb. pass away}

36:13

But the hypocrites
<02611>

in heart
<03820>

heap up
<07760> (8799)

wrath
<0639>_:

they cry
<07768> (8762)

not when he bindeth
<0631> (8804)

them.

36:14

They
<05315>

die
<04191> (8799)

in youth
<05290>_,

and their life
<02416>

[is] among the unclean
<06945>_.

{They...: Heb. Their soul dieth} {unclean: or, sodomites}

36:15

He delivereth
<02502> (8762)

the poor
<06041>

in his affliction
<06040>_,

and openeth
<01540> (8799)

their ears
<0241>

in oppression
<03906>_.

{poor: or, afflicted}

36:16

Even so would he have removed
<05496> (8689)

thee out of the strait
<06310> <06862>

[into] a broad place
<07338>_,

where
<08478>

[there is] no straitness
<04164>_;

and that which should be set
<05183>

on thy table
<07979>

[should be] full
<04390> (8804)

of fatness
<01880>_.

{that...: Heb. the rest of thy table}

36:17

But thou hast fulfilled
<04390> (8804)

the judgment
<01779>

of the wicked
<07563>_:

judgment
<01779>

and justice
<04941>

take hold
<08551> (8799)

[on thee]. {take...: or, should uphold thee}

36:18

Because [there is] wrath
<02534>_,

[beware] lest he take thee away
<05496> (8686)

with [his] stroke
<05607>_:

then a great
<07230>

ransom
<03724>

cannot deliver
<05186> (8686)

thee. {deliver...: Heb. turn thee aside}

36:19

Will he esteem
<06186> (8799)

thy riches
<07769>_?

[no], not gold
<01222>_,

nor all the forces
<03981>

of strength
<03581>_.

36:20

Desire
<07602> (8799)

not the night
<03915>_,

when people
<05971>

are cut off
<05927> (8800)

in their place.

36:21

Take heed
<08104> (8734)_,

regard
<06437> (8799)

not iniquity
<0205>_:

for this hast thou chosen
<0977> (8804)

rather than affliction
<06040>_.

36:22

Behold, God
<0410>

exalteth
<07682> (8686)

by his power
<03581>_:

who teacheth
<03384> (8688)

like him?

36:23

Who hath enjoined
<06485> (8804)

him his way
<01870>_?

or who can say
<0559> (8804)_,

Thou hast wrought
<06466> (8804)

iniquity
<05766>_?

36:24

Remember
<02142> (8798)

that thou magnify
<07679> (8686)

his work
<06467>_,

which men
<0582>

behold
<07891> (8790)_.

36:25

Every man
<0120>

may see
<02372> (8804)

it; man
<0582>

may behold
<05027> (8686)

[it] afar off
<07350>_.

36:26

Behold, God
<0410>

[is] great
<07689>_,

and we know
<03045> (8799)

[him] not, neither can the number
<04557>

of his years
<08141>

be searched out
<02714>_.

36:27

For he maketh small
<01639> (8762)

the drops
<05198>

of water
<04325>_:

they pour down
<02212> (8799)

rain
<04306>

according to the vapour
<0108>

thereof:

36:28

Which the clouds
<07834>

do drop
<05140> (8799)

[and] distil
<07491> (8799)

upon man
<0120>

abundantly
<07227>_.

36:29

Also can [any] understand
<0995> (8799)

the spreadings
<04666>

of the clouds
<05645>_,

[or] the noise
<08663>

of his tabernacle
<05521>_?

36:30

Behold, he spreadeth
<06566> (8804)

his light
<0216>

upon it, and covereth
<03680> (8765)

the bottom
<08328>

of the sea
<03220>_.

{bottom: Heb. roots}

36:31

For by them judgeth
<01777> (8799)

he the people
<05971>_;

he giveth
<05414> (8799)

meat
<0400>

in abundance
<04342> (8688)_.

36:32

With clouds
<03709>

he covereth
<03680> (8765)

the light
<0216>_;

and commandeth
<06680> (8762)

it [not to shine] by [the cloud] that cometh betwixt
<06293> (8688)_.

36:33

The noise
<07452>

thereof sheweth
<05046> (8686)

concerning it, the cattle
<04735>

also concerning the vapour
<05927> (8802)_.

{the vapour: Heb. that which goeth up}

37:1

At this
<02063>

also my heart
<03820>

trembleth
<02729> (8799)_,

and is moved out
<05425> (8799)

of his place
<04725>_.

37:2

Hear
<08085> (8798)

attentively
<08085> (8800)

the noise
<07267>

of his voice
<06963>_,

and the sound
<01899>

[that] goeth out
<03318> (8799)

of his mouth
<06310>_.

{Hear...: Heb. Hear in hearing}

37:3

He directeth
<03474> (8765)

it
<08281> (8799)

under the whole heaven
<08064>_,

and his lightning
<0216>

unto the ends
<03671>

of the earth
<0776>_.

{lightning: Heb. light} {ends: Heb. wings}

37:4

After
<0310>

it a voice
<06963>

roareth
<07580> (8799)_:

he thundereth
<07481> (8686)

with the voice
<06963>

of his excellency
<01347>_;

and he will not stay
<06117> (8762)

them when his voice
<06963>

is heard
<08085> (8735)_.

37:5

God
<0410>

thundereth
<07481> (8686)

marvellously
<06381> (8737)

with his voice
<06963>_;

great things
<01419>

doeth
<06213> (8802)

he, which we cannot comprehend
<03045> (8799)_.

37:6

For he saith
<0559> (8799)

to the snow
<07950>_,

Be thou
<01933> (8798)

[on] the earth
<0776>_;

likewise to the small
<04306>

rain
<01653>_,

and to the great
<04306>

rain
<01653>

of his strength
<05797>_.

{likewise...: Heb. and to the shower of rain, and to the showers of rain of his strength}

37:7

He sealeth up
<02856> (8799)

the hand
<03027>

of every man
<0120>_;

that all men
<0582>

may know
<03045> (8800)

his work
<04639>_.

37:8

Then the beasts
<02416>

go
<0935> (8799)

into
<01119>

dens
<0695>_,

and remain
<07931> (8799)

in their places
<04585>_.

37:9

Out of the south
<02315>

cometh
<0935> (8799)

the whirlwind
<05492>_:

and cold
<07135>

out of the north
<04215>_.

{south: Heb. chamber} {north: Heb. scattering winds}

37:10

By the breath
<05397>

of God
<0410>

frost
<07140>

is given
<05414> (8799)_:

and the breadth
<07341>

of the waters
<04325>

is straitened
<04164>_.

37:11

Also by watering
<07377>

he wearieth
<02959> (8686)

the thick cloud
<05645>_:

he scattereth
<06327> (8686)

his bright
<0216>

cloud
<06051>_:

{his...: Heb. the cloud of his light}

37:12

And it is turned
<02015> (8693)

round about
<04524>

by his counsels
<08458>_:

that they may do
<06467>

whatsoever he commandeth
<06680> (8762)

them upon the face
<06440>

of the world
<08398>

in the earth
<0776>_.

37:13

He causeth it to come
<04672> (8686)_,

whether for correction
<07626>_,

or for his land
<0776>_,

or for mercy
<02617>_.

{correction: Heb. a rod}

37:14

Hearken
<0238> (8685)

unto this, O Job
<0347>_:

stand still
<05975> (8798)_,

and consider
<0995> (8708)

the wondrous
<06381> (8737)

works of God
<0410>_.

37:15

Dost thou know
<03045> (8799)

when God
<0433>

disposed
<07760> (8800)

them, and caused the light
<0216>

of his cloud
<06051>

to shine
<03313> (8689)_?

37:16

Dost thou know
<03045> (8799)

the balancings
<04657>

of the clouds
<05645>_,

the wondrous works
<04652>

of him which is perfect
<08549>

in knowledge
<01843>_?

37:17

How thy garments
<0899>

[are] warm
<02525>_,

when he quieteth
<08252> (8687)

the earth
<0776>

by the south
<01864>

[wind]?

37:18

Hast thou with him spread out
<07554> (8686)

the sky
<07834>_,

[which is] strong
<02389>_,

[and] as a molten
<03332> (8716)

looking glass
<07209>_?

37:19

Teach
<03045> (8685)

us what we shall say
<0559> (8799)

unto him; [for] we cannot order
<06186> (8799)

[our speech] by reason
<06440>

of darkness
<02822>_.

37:20

Shall it be told
<05608> (8792)

him that I speak
<01696> (8762)_?

if a man
<0376>

speak
<0559> (8804)_,

surely he shall be swallowed up
<01104> (8792)_.

37:21

And now [men] see
<07200> (8804)

not the bright
<0925>

light
<0216>

which [is] in the clouds
<07834>_:

but the wind
<07307>

passeth
<05674> (8804)_,

and cleanseth
<02891> (8762)

them.

37:22

Fair weather
<02091>

cometh
<0857> (8799)

out of the north
<06828>_:

with God
<0433>

[is] terrible
<03372> (8737)

majesty
<01935>_.

{Fair...: Heb. Gold}

37:23

[Touching] the Almighty
<07706>_,

we cannot find him out
<04672> (8804)_:

[he is] excellent
<07689>

in power
<03581>_,

and in judgment
<04941>_,

and in plenty
<07230>

of justice
<06666>_:

he will not afflict
<06031> (8762)_.

37:24

Men
<0582>

do therefore fear
<03372> (8804)

him: he respecteth
<07200> (8799)

not any [that are] wise
<02450>

of heart
<03820>_.
