Job 36:1 (NET) New English Translation

1 Elihu said further:
2 "Be patient with me a little longer and I will instruct you, for I still have words to speak on God's behalf.
3 With my knowledge I will speak comprehensively, and to my Creator I will ascribe righteousness.
4 For in truth, my words are not false; it is one complete in knowledge who is with you.
5 Indeed, God is mighty; and he does not despise people, he is mighty, and firm in his intent.
6 He does not allow the wicked to live, but he gives justice to the poor.
7 He does not take his eyes off the righteous; but with kings on the throne he seats the righteous and exalts them forever.
8 But if they are bound in chains, and held captive by the cords of affliction,
9 then he reveals to them what they have done, and their transgressions, that they were behaving proudly.
10 And he reveals this for correction, and says that they must turn from evil.
11 If they obey and serve him, they live out their days in prosperity and their years in pleasantness.
12 But if they refuse to listen, they pass over the river of death, and expire without knowledge.
13 The godless at heart nourish anger, they do not cry out even when he binds them.
14 They die in their youth, and their life ends among the male cultic prostitutes.
15 He delivers the afflicted by their afflictions, he reveals himself to them by their suffering.
16 And surely, he drew you from the mouth of distress, to a wide place, unrestricted, and to the comfort of your table filled with rich food.
17 But now you are preoccupied with the judgment due the wicked, judgment and justice take hold of you.
18 Be careful that no one entices you with riches; do not let a large bribe turn you aside.
19 Would your wealth sustain you, so that you would not be in distress, even all your mighty efforts?
20 Do not long for the cover of night to drag people away from their homes.
21 Take heed, do not turn to evil, for because of this you have been tested by affliction.
22 Indeed, God is exalted in his power; who is a teacher like him?
23 Who has prescribed his ways for him? Or said to him, 'You have done what is wicked'?
24 Remember to extol his work, which people have praised in song.
25 All humanity has seen it; people gaze on it from afar.
26 "Yes, God is great� beyond our knowledge! The number of his years is unsearchable.
27 He draws up drops of water; they distill the rain into its mist,
28 which the clouds pour down and shower on humankind abundantly.
29 Who can understand the spreading of the clouds, the thunderings of his pavilion?
30 See how he scattered his lightning about him; he has covered the depths of the sea.
31 It is by these that he judges the nations and supplies food in abundance.
32 With his hands he covers the lightning, and directs it against its target.
33 His thunder announces the coming storm, the cattle also, concerning the storm's approach.
1 Elihu H453 also proceeded, H3254 and said, H559
2 Suffer H3803 me a little, H2191 and I will show H2331 thee that H3588 I have yet H5750 to speak H4405 on God's H433 behalf.
3 I will fetch H5375 my knowledge H1843 from afar H4480 H7350 , and will ascribe H5414 righteousness H6664 to my Maker. H6466
4 For H3588 truly H551 my words H4405 shall not H3808 be false: H8267 he that is perfect H8549 in knowledge H1844 is with H5973 thee.
5 Behold H2005 , God H410 is mighty, H3524 and despiseth H3988 not H3808 any: he is mighty H3524 in strength H3581 and wisdom. H3820
6 He preserveth not the life H2421 H3808 of the wicked: H7563 but giveth H5414 right H4941 to the poor. H6041
7 He withdraweth H1639 not H3808 his eyes H5869 from the righteous H4480 H6662 : but with H854 kings H4428 are they on the throne; H3678 yea , he doth establish H3427 them forever, H5331 and they are exalted. H1361
8 And if H518 they be bound H631 in fetters, H2131 and be holden H3920 in cords H2256 of affliction; H6040
9 Then he showeth H5046 them their work, H6467 and their transgressions H6588 that H3588 they have exceeded. H1396
10 He openeth H1540 also their ear H241 to discipline, H4148 and commandeth H559 that H3588 they return H7725 from iniquity H4480 H205 .
11 If H518 they obey H8085 and serve H5647 him , they shall spend H3615 their days H3117 in prosperity, H2896 and their years H8141 in pleasures. H5273
12 But if H518 they obey H8085 not, H3808 they shall perish H5674 by the sword, H7973 and they shall die H1478 without H1097 knowledge. H1847
13 But the hypocrites H2611 in heart H3820 heap up H7760 wrath: H639 they cry H7768 not H3808 when H3588 he bindeth H631 them.
14 They H5315 die H4191 in youth, H5290 and their life H2416 is among the unclean. H6945
15 He delivereth H2502 the poor H6041 in his affliction, H6040 and openeth H1540 their ears H241 in oppression. H3906
16 Even so H637 would he have removed H5496 thee out of the strait H4480 H6310 H6862 into a broad place, H7338 where H8478 there is no H3808 straitness; H4164 and that which should be set H5183 on thy table H7979 should be full H4390 of fatness. H1880
17 But thou hast fulfilled H4390 the judgment H1779 of the wicked: H7563 judgment H1779 and justice H4941 take hold H8551 on thee .
18 Because H3588 there is wrath, H2534 beware lest H6435 he take thee away H5496 with his stroke: H5607 then a great H7227 ransom H3724 cannot H408 deliver H5186 thee.
19 Will he esteem H6186 thy riches H7769 ? no , not H3808 gold, H1222 nor all H3605 the forces H3981 of strength. H3581
20 Desire H7602 not H408 the night, H3915 when people H5971 are cut off H5927 in their place. H8478
21 Take heed, H8104 regard not H6437 H408 H413 iniquity: H205 for H3588 H5921 this H2088 hast thou chosen H977 rather than affliction H4480. H6040
22 Behold H2005 , God H410 exalteth H7682 by his power: H3581 who H4310 teacheth H3384 like him H3644 ?
23 Who H4310 hath enjoined H6485 H5921 him his way H1870 ? or who H4310 can say, H559 Thou hast wrought H6466 iniquity H5766 ?
24 Remember H2142 that H3588 thou magnify H7679 his work, H6467 which H834 men H376 behold. H7789
25 Every H3605 man H120 may see H2372 it; man H582 may behold H5027 it afar off H4480 H7350 .
26 Behold H2005 , God H410 is great, H7689 and we know H3045 him not H3808 neither H3808 can the number H4557 of his years H8141 be searched out. H2714
27 For H3588 he maketh small H1639 the drops H5198 of water: H4325 they pour down H2212 rain H4306 according to the vapor H108 thereof:
28 Which H834 the clouds H7834 do drop H5140 and distill H7491 upon H5921 man H120 abundantly. H7227
29 Also H637 H518 can any understand H995 the spreadings H4666 of the clouds, H5645 or the noise H8663 of his tabernacle H5521 ?
30 Behold H2005 , he spreadeth H6566 his light H216 upon H5921 it , and covereth H3680 the bottom H8328 of the sea. H3220
31 For H3588 by them judgeth H1777 he the people; H5971 he giveth H5414 meat H400 in abundance. H4342
32 With H5921 clouds H3709 he covereth H3680 the light; H216 and commandeth H6680 it not to shine by H5921 the cloud that cometh between. H6293
33 The noise H7452 thereof showeth H5046 concerning H5921 it , the cattle H4735 also H637 concerning H5921 the vapor. H5927
