Job 36:1--37:24

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>_.
