nkjv@Job:36:1 @ Elihu also proceeded and said:

nkjv@Job:36:2 @ "Bear with me a little, and I will show you That there are yet words to speak on God's behalf.

nkjv@Job:36:3 @ I will fetch my knowledge from afar; I will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

nkjv@Job:36:4 @ For truly my words are not false; One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.

nkjv@Job:36:5 @ "Behold, God is mighty, but despises no one; He is mighty in strength of understanding.

nkjv@Job:36:6 @ He does not preserve the life of the wicked, But gives justice to the oppressed.

nkjv@Job:36:7 @ He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous; But they are on the throne with kings, For He has seated them forever, And they are exalted.

nkjv@Job:36:8 @ And if they are bound in fetters, Held in the cords of affliction,

nkjv@Job:36:9 @ Then He tells them their work and their transgressions-- That they have acted defiantly.

nkjv@Job:36:10 @ He also opens their ear to instruction, And commands that they turn from iniquity.

nkjv@Job:36:11 @ If they obey and serve Him, They shall spend their days in prosperity, And their years in pleasures.

nkjv@Job:36:12 @ But if they do not obey, They shall perish by the sword, And they shall die without knowledge.

nkjv@Job:36:13 @ "But the hypocrites in heart store up wrath; They do not cry for help when He binds them.

nkjv@Job:36:14 @ They die in youth, And their life ends among the perverted persons.

nkjv@Job:36:15 @ He delivers the poor in their affliction, And opens their ears in oppression.

nkjv@Job:36:16 @ "Indeed He would have brought you out of dire distress, Into a broad place where there is no restraint; And what is set on your table would be full of richness.

nkjv@Job:36:17 @ But you are filled with the judgment due the wicked; Judgment and justice take hold of you.

nkjv@Job:36:18 @ Because there is wrath, beware lest He take you away with one blow; For a large ransom would not help you avoid it.

nkjv@Job:36:19 @ Will your riches, Or all the mighty forces, Keep you from distress?

nkjv@Job:36:20 @ Do not desire the night, When people are cut off in their place.

nkjv@Job:36:21 @ Take heed, do not turn to iniquity, For you have chosen this rather than affliction.

nkjv@Job:36:22 @ "Behold, God is exalted by His power; Who teaches like Him?

nkjv@Job:36:23 @ Who has assigned Him His way, Or who has said, "You have done wrong'?

nkjv@Job:36:24 @ "Remember to magnify His work, Of which men have sung.

nkjv@Job:36:25 @ Everyone has seen it; Man looks on it from afar.

nkjv@Job:36:26 @ "Behold, God is great, and we do not know Him; Nor can the number of His years be discovered.

nkjv@Job:36:27 @ For He draws up drops of water, Which distill as rain from the mist,

nkjv@Job:36:28 @ Which the clouds drop down And pour abundantly on man.

nkjv@Job:36:29 @ Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of clouds, The thunder from His canopy?

nkjv@Job:36:30 @ Look, He scatters His light upon it, And covers the depths of the sea.

nkjv@Job:36:31 @ For by these He judges the peoples; He gives food in abundance.

nkjv@Job:36:32 @ He covers His hands with lightning, And commands it to strike.

nkjv@Job:36:33 @ His thunder declares it, The cattle also, concerning the rising storm.
