en_cepher - Job 36 - Ozzuu Bible

¹ ELIYHU also proceeded, and said,

² Suffer me a little, and I will show you that I have yet to speak on Eloah's behalf.

³ I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

⁴ For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with you.

⁵ Behold, El is mighty, and despises not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.

⁶ He preserves not the life of the wicked: but gives right to the poor.

⁷ He withdraws not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he establishes them forever, and they are exalted.

⁸ And if they be bound in fetters, and be held in cords of affliction;

⁹ Then he shows them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.

¹⁰ He opens also their ear to discipline, and commands that they return from iniquity.

¹¹ If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.

¹² But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.

¹³ But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he binds them.

¹⁴ They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.

¹⁵ He delivers the poor in his affliction, and opens their ears in oppression.

¹⁶ Even so would he have removed you out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on your table should be full of fatness.

¹⁷ But you have fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on you.

¹⁸ Because there is wrath, beware lest he take you away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver you.

¹⁹ Will he esteem your riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.

²⁰ Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.

²¹ Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this have you chosen rather than affliction.

²² Behold, El exalts by his power: who teaches like him?

²³ Who has enjoined him his way? or who can say, You have wrought iniquity?

²⁴ Remember that you magnify his work, which men behold.

²⁵ Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.

²⁶ Behold, El is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.

²⁷ For he makes small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapor thereof:

²⁸ Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.

²⁹ Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his Tabernacle?

³⁰ Behold, he spreads his light upon it, and covers the bottom of the sea.

³¹ For by them judges he the people; he gives meat in abundance.

³² With clouds he covers the light; and commands it not to shine by the cloud that comes betwixt.

³³ The noise thereof shows concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapor.
