Job 36:1-23

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>_?
