D. |His final word to Job36:1-37:24
Job|36:1|-|And Elihu added this and said,
Job|36:2|-|Bear with me a little, and I will show you;For there is more to say for God.Job|36:3|-|I will bring my knowledge from afarAnd will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.Job|36:4|-|For truly my words are not false;One perfect in |1|knowledge is with you.Job|36:5|-|Indeed, God is mighty and does not despise;He is mighty in strength of understanding.Job|36:6|-|He does not preserve the wicked man alive,But gives justice to the afflicted.Job|36:7|-|He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous;And with kings on the throne,He sets them forever, and they are exalted.
Job|36:8|-|And if they are bound in fetters,If they are caught in the cords of affliction,Job|36:9|-|He shows them their workAnd their transgressions, that they have acted arrogantly.Job|36:10|-|He also opens their ear to instructionAnd commands that they return from iniquity.Job|36:11|-|If they hear and serve Him,They will spend their days in prosperityAnd their years in pleasantness.
Job|36:12|-|But if they do not hear, they will pass away by the swordAnd die without knowledge.Job|36:13|-|But those who are profane in heart |a|lay up anger;They do not cry for help when He binds them.Job|36:14|-|They die in youth,And their life ends among the most defiled.Job|36:15|-|He rescues the afflicted by their afflictionAnd opens their ear through oppression.Job|36:16|-|Indeed He allures you from the jaws of distressInto a spacious place, where there is no constraint;And what is upon your table is full of fatness.
Job|36:17|-|But you are filled with the judgment of the wicked;Judgment and litigation have taken hold of you.Job|36:18|-|Beware lest wrath allures you into scoffing,And do not let the greatness of the ransom turn you aside.Job|36:19|-|Will your cry keep you from being in distress,Or all the forces of your strength?Job|36:20|-|Do not long for the night,When people are taken from their place.Job|36:21|-|Take heed; do not turn toward iniquity;For you have chosen this rather than affliction.Job|36:22|-|Indeed, God is exalted in His power:Who is a teacher like Him?Job|36:23|-|Who has appointed His way for Him?And who says, You have done wrong?Job|36:24|-|Remember to magnify His work,Of which men sing.Job|36:25|-|All mankind has gazed on it;Man beholds it from afar.Job|36:26|-|Indeed, God is great, and we do not know Him;The number of His years we also cannot search out.Job|36:27|-|For He draws up the drops of waterWhich distill into |a|rain from His mist,Job|36:28|-|Which the skies pour downAnd drop upon man abundantly.Job|36:29|-|Can they indeed understand the spreading of the clouds,The thunderings of His pavilion?Job|36:30|-|Indeed, He scatters His lightning around HimAnd covers the roots of the sea.Job|36:31|-|For by these He judges the peoples;He gives |a|food in abundance.Job|36:32|-|He fills His hands with lightningAnd commands it to strike the mark.Job|36:33|-|Its noise tells of Him;The cattle as well tell concerning Him who is coming.
