18_JOB_36_01 Elihu also proceeded, And said,
18_JOB_36_02 suffer me A little, And I will show thee that [ I have] yet to speak on God's behalf.
18_JOB_36_03 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, And will ascribe righteousness to my maker.
18_JOB_36_04 for truly my words [ shall] not [ be] false: he that Is perfect in knowledge [ Is] with thee.
18_JOB_36_05 behold, God [ Is] mighty, And despiseth not [ any: he Is] mighty in strength [ And] wisdom.
18_JOB_36_06 he preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.
18_JOB_36_07 he withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings [ are they] on the throne; yea, he Doth establish them for ever, And they are exalted.
18_JOB_36_08 And if [ they be] bound in fetters, [ And] be holden in cords of affliction;
18_JOB_36_09 Then he showeth them their work, And their transgressions that they have exceeded.
18_JOB_36_10 he openeth also their ear to discipline, And commandeth that they Return from iniquity.
18_JOB_36_11 if they obey And serve [ him], they shall spend their days in prosperity, And their years in pleasures.
18_JOB_36_12 but if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, And they shall die without knowledge.
18_JOB_36_13 but the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.
18_JOB_36_14 they die in youth, And their life [ Is] among the unclean.
18_JOB_36_15 he delivereth the poor in his affliction, And openeth their ears in oppression.
18_JOB_36_16 even So would he have removed thee out of the strait [ into] A broad place, where [ there Is] no straitness; And that which should be set on thy table [ should be] full of fatness.
18_JOB_36_17 but thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment And justice take hold [ on thee].
18_JOB_36_18 because [ there Is] wrath, [ Beware] lest he take thee away with [ his] stroke: Then A great ransom cannot deliver thee.
18_JOB_36_19 will he esteem thy riches? [ no], not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
18_JOB_36_20 desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
18_JOB_36_21 take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
18_JOB_36_22 behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
18_JOB_36_23 who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, thou hast wrought iniquity?
18_JOB_36_24 Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
18_JOB_36_25 every man may see it; man may behold [ it] afar off.
18_JOB_36_26 behold, God [ Is] great, And we know [ him] not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
18_JOB_36_27 for he maketh small the drops of water: they Pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:
18_JOB_36_28 which the clouds do drop [ And] distil upon man abundantly.
18_JOB_36_29 also can [ any] understand the spreadings of the clouds, [ or] the noise of his tabernacle?
18_JOB_36_30 behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, And covereth the bottom of the sea.
18_JOB_36_31 for by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.
18_JOB_36_32 with clouds he covereth the light; And commandeth it [ not to shine] by [ the cloud] that cometh betwixt.
18_JOB_36_33 the noise thereof showeth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.
