Verse
Job - ch 36 v 1 - 20
- And Elihu proceeded and said,
- Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet words for +God.
- I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Creator.
- For truly my words shall be no falsehood: one perfect in knowledge is with thee.
- Lo, ùGod is mighty, but despiseth not any; mighty in strength of understanding:
- He saveth not the wicked alive; but he doeth justice to the afflicted.
- He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne doth he even set them for ever; and they are exalted.
- And if, bound in fetters, they be held in cords of affliction,
- Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions, because they have increased.
- And he openeth their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.
- If they hearken and serve him, they shall accomplish their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
- But if they hearken not, they shall pass away by the sword, and expire without knowledge.
- But the godless in heart heap up anger; they cry not when he bindeth them:
- Their soul dieth in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
- But he delivereth the afflicted in his affliction, and openeth their ear in their oppression.
- Even so would he have allured thee out of the jaws of distress into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and the supply of thy table would be full of fatness.
- But thou art full of the judgments of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.
- Because there is wrath, beware lest it take thee away through chastisement: then a great ransom could not avail thee.
- Will he esteem thy riches? Not gold, nor all the resources of strength!
- Desire not the night, when peoples are cut off from their place.
