bes@Job:36:1 @ And Elius further continued, and said,

bes@Job:36:2 @ Wait from me yet a little while, that I may teach thee: for there is yet speech in me.

bes@Job:36:3 @ Having fetched my knowledge from afar, and according to my works,

bes@Job:36:4 @ I will speak just things truly, and thou shalt not unjustly receive unjust words.

bes@Job:36:5 @ But know that the Lord will not cast off an innocent man: being mighty in strength of (note:)Gr. heart(:note) wisdom,

bes@Job:36:6 @ he will not by any means (note:)Gr. quicken, or, bring to life(:note) save alive the ungodly: and he will grant the judgement of the poor.

bes@Job:36:7 @ He will not turn away his eyes from the righteous, but they shall be with kings on the throne: and he will (note:)Gr. seat(:note) establish them in Gr. for victory triumph, and they shall be exalted.

bes@Job:36:8 @ But they that are bound in fetters shall be holden in cords of poverty.

bes@Job:36:9 @ And he shall recount to them their works, and their transgressions, (note:)Alex. whenever they act(:note) for such will act with violence.

bes@Job:36:10 @ But he will hearken to the righteous: and he has said that they shall turn from unrighteousness.

bes@Job:36:11 @ If they should hear and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in honour.

bes@Job:36:12 @ But he preserves not the ungodly; because they are not willing to know the Lord, and because when reproved they were disobedient.

bes@Job:36:13 @ And the hypocrites in heart will array wrath against themselves; they will not cry, because he has bound them.

bes@Job:36:14 @ Therefore let their soul die in youth, and their life be wounded by messengers of death.

bes@Job:36:15 @ Because they afflicted the weak and helpless: and he will vindicate the judgement of the meek.

bes@Job:36:16 @ And he has also enticed thee out of the mouth of the enemy:

bes@Job:36:17 @ there is a deep gulf and a (note:)Gr. pouring down(:note) rushing stream beneath it, and thy table came down full of fatness. Judgment shall not fail from the righteous;

bes@Job:36:18 @ but there shall be wrath upon the ungodly, by reason of the ungodliness of the bribes which they received for iniquities.

bes@Job:36:19 @ Let not thy mind willingly turn thee aside from the petition of the feeble that are in distress.

bes@Job:36:20 @ And draw not forth all the mighty men by night, so that the people should go up instead of them.

bes@Job:36:21 @ But take heed lest thou do that which is wrong: for of this thou has made choice because of poverty.

bes@Job:36:22 @ Behold, the Mighty One shall prevail by his strength: for who is powerful as he is?

bes@Job:36:23 @ And who is he that examines his works? or who can say, he has wrought injustice?

bes@Job:36:24 @ Remember that his works are great beyond those which men have (note:)Lit. ruled over(:note) attempted.

bes@Job:36:25 @ Every man has seen in himself, how many mortals are wounded.

bes@Job:36:26 @ Behold, the Mighty One is (note:)Gr. numerous(:note) great, and we shall not know him: the number of his years is even infinite.

bes@Job:36:27 @ And the drops of rain are numbered by him, and shall be poured out in rain to form a cloud.

bes@Job:36:28 @ The (note:)Gr. antiquities(:note) ancient heavens shall flow, and the clouds overshadow innumerable mortals: (36:28AA) he has fixed a time to cattle, and they know the order of rest. (36:28BA) Yet by all these things thy understanding is not astonished, neither is thy mind Gr. changed from disturbed in thy body.

bes@Job:36:29 @ And though one should understand the (note:)Alex. epektasin(:note) outspreadings of the clouds, or the measure of his tabernacle;

bes@Job:36:30 @ behold he will stretch his (note:)Alex. ep authn to toxon, bow over it, sc. tabernacle(:note) bow against him, and he covers the bottom of the sea.

bes@Job:36:31 @ For by them he will judge the nations: he will give food to him that has strength.

bes@Job:36:32 @ He has hidden the light in his hands, and given charge concerning it to the interposing cloud.

bes@Job:36:33 @ The Lord will declare concerning this to his friend: but there is a portion also for unrighteousness.
