jps@Job:36:1 @ Elihu also proceeded, and said:

jps@Job:36:2 @ Suffer me a little, and I will tell thee; for there are yet words on God's behalf.

jps@Job:36:3 @ I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

jps@Job:36:4 @ For truly my words are not false; one that is upright in mind is with thee.

jps@Job:36:5 @ Behold, God is mighty, yet He despiseth not any; He is mighty in strength of understanding.

jps@Job:36:6 @ He preserveth not the life of the wicked; but giveth to the poor their right.

jps@Job:36:7 @ He withdraweth not His eyes from the righteous; but with kings upon the throne He setteth them for ever, and they are exalted.

jps@Job:36:8 @ And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;

jps@Job:36:9 @ Then He declareth unto them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.

jps@Job:36:10 @ He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.

jps@Job:36:11 @ If they hearken and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.

jps@Job:36:12 @ But if they hearken not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.

jps@Job:36:13 @ But they that are godless in heart lay up anger; they cry not for help when He bindeth them.

jps@Job:36:14 @ Their soul perisheth in youth, and their life as that of the depraved.

jps@Job:36:15 @ He delivereth the afflicted by His affliction, and openeth their ear by tribulation.

jps@Job:36:16 @ Yea, He hath allured thee out of distress into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which is set on thy table is full of fatness;

jps@Job:36:17 @ And thou art full of the judgment of the wicked; judgment and justice take hold on them.

jps@Job:36:18 @ For beware of wrath, lest thou be led away by thy sufficiency; neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside.

jps@Job:36:19 @ Will thy riches avail, that are without stint, or all the forces of thy strength?

jps@Job:36:20 @ Desire not the night, when peoples are cut off in their place.

jps@Job:36:21 @ Take heed, regard not iniquity; for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.

jps@Job:36:22 @ Behold, God doeth loftily in His power; who is a teacher like Him?

jps@Job:36:23 @ Who hath enjoined Him His way? Or who hath said: 'Thou hast wrought unrighteousness'?

jps@Job:36:24 @ Remember that thou magnify His work, whereof men have sung.

jps@Job:36:25 @ All men have looked thereon; man beholdeth it afar off.

jps@Job:36:26 @ Behold, God is great, beyond our knowledge; the number of His years is unsearchable.

jps@Job:36:27 @ For He draweth away the drops of water, which distil rain from His vapour;

jps@Job:36:28 @ Which the skies pour down and drop upon the multitudes of men.

jps@Job:36:29 @ Yea, can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, the crashings of His pavilion?

jps@Job:36:30 @ Behold, He spreadeth His light upon it; and He covereth the depths of the sea.

jps@Job:36:31 @ For by these He judgeth the peoples; He giveth food in abundance.

jps@Job:36:32 @ He covereth His hands with the lightning, and giveth it a charge that it strike the mark.

jps@Job:36:33 @ The noise thereof telleth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the storm that cometh up.
