Job:32-37

rotherham@Job:32:1 @ So these three men ceased to respond to Job, because, he, was righteous in their eyes.

rotherham@Job:32:2 @ Then was kindled the anger of Elihu, son of Barachel the Buzite of the family of Ram, against Job, was kindled his anger, because he justified his own soul rather than God;

rotherham@Job:32:3 @ and, against his three friends, was kindled his anger, because that they found not a response, and condemned God.

rotherham@Job:32:4 @ But, Elihu, had waited for Job with words, because the others were older than he.

rotherham@Job:32:5 @ Howbeit, when Elihu saw that there was no response in the mouth of the three men, then was kindled his anger.

rotherham@Job:32:6 @ So then Elihu, son of Barachel, the Buzite, responded and said: Young, am I, whereas, ye, are aged, For this cause, I faltered, and fearedto shew my knowledge unto you:

rotherham@Job:32:7 @ I said, Days, should speak, and, the multitude of years, should make known wisdom.

rotherham@Job:32:8 @ Yet surely, there is a spirit in men, and, the inspiration of the Almighty, giveth them understanding;

rotherham@Job:32:9 @ Great men, may not be wise, nor, elders, understand justice.

rotherham@Job:32:10 @ Therefore, I said, Hearken unto me, I will show my knowledgeeven I.

rotherham@Job:32:11 @ Lo! I waited for your words, I kept giving ear for your reasons, until ye should search out what to say;

rotherham@Job:32:12 @ Yea, unto you, gave I diligent heed, But lo! there was, for Job, nothing to convince, nor could you of you answer his speeches.

rotherham@Job:32:13 @ Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom. GOD, must put him to flight, not man.

rotherham@Job:32:14 @ Since he directed not to me discourse, therefore, with your speeches, will I not reply to him.

rotherham@Job:32:15 @ They were dismayed, they responded no more, they suffered speech to forsake them;

rotherham@Job:32:16 @ Though I waited, yet could they not speak, Surely they came to a stand, they responded no more.

rotherham@Job:32:17 @ I will respond, even Ion my part, I will shew my knowledge, even I!

rotherham@Job:32:18 @ For I am full of discourse, The spirit in my bosom, presseth me on.

rotherham@Job:32:19 @ Lo! my bosom, is like wine not opened, Like new wine-skins, it will burst.

rotherham@Job:32:20 @ I will speak, that I may freely breathe, I will open my lips and respond.

rotherham@Job:32:21 @ Let me be partial to no man, and, unto no son of earth, give flattering titles,

rotherham@Job:32:22 @ Surely I know not how to give flattering titles, How soon might my Maker take me away!

rotherham@Job:33:1 @ But, in very deed, hear, I pray thee, Job, my discourse, and, to all my words, give thou ear.

rotherham@Job:33:2 @ Lo! I pray thee, I have opened my mouth, My tongue, with my palate, hath spoken,

rotherham@Job:33:3 @ Mine utterances come straight from mine own heart, and, what I know, my lips have truly spoken;

rotherham@Job:33:4 @ The spirit of GOD, hath made me, and, the inspiration of the Almighty, giveth me life.

rotherham@Job:33:5 @ If thou art able to answer me, Set in order before metake thy stand!

rotherham@Job:33:6 @ Lo! I am like thyself toward GOD, From clay, have I been nipped off, even I!

rotherham@Job:33:7 @ Lo! my terror, will not startle thee, nor, my hand, upon thee, be heavy.

rotherham@Job:33:8 @ But thou hast spoken in mine ears, and, the sound of words, I heard:

rotherham@Job:33:9 @ Pure am, I, without transgression, Clean am, I, and have no iniquity;

rotherham@Job:33:10 @ Lo! occasions of hostility, would he find against me, He counteth me an enemy to him;

rotherham@Job:33:11 @ He puttethin the stocksmy feet, He watcheth all my paths.

rotherham@Job:33:12 @ Lo! in this, thou hast not been rightlet me answer thee, For, GOD, is greater than, man.

rotherham@Job:33:13 @ Wherefore, against him, hast thou contended? For, with none of his reasons, will he respond.

rotherham@Job:33:14 @ For, in one way, GOD may speak, and, in a second way, one may not heed it:

rotherham@Job:33:15 @ In a dream, a vision of the night, when a deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed,

rotherham@Job:33:16 @ Then, uncovereth he the ear of men, and, on their correction, affixeth a seal;

rotherham@Job:33:17 @ To turn a son of earth from his deed, while yet, pride, from man he concealeth:

rotherham@Job:33:18 @ He keepeth back his said from the pit, and his life from passing away by a weapon.

rotherham@Job:33:19 @ Or he is chastised with pain, upon his bed, and, the strife of his bones, is unceasing!

rotherham@Job:33:20 @ So that his life maketh loathsome food, and his soul, dainty meat;

rotherham@Job:33:21 @ His flesh wasteth away out of sight, and bared are the bones once unseen;

rotherham@Job:33:22 @ So doth his soul draw near to the pit, and his life to the inflicters of death:

rotherham@Job:33:23 @ If there hath been near him a messenger who could interpretone of a thousand, to declare to the son of earth His uprightness,

rotherham@Job:33:24 @ Then hath he shewed him favour, and said, Set him free from going down to the pit, I have found a price of redemption!

rotherham@Job:33:25 @ His flesh hath been made fresher than a childs, he hath returned to the days of his youth;

rotherham@Job:33:26 @ He made supplication unto GOD, who hath accepted him, and he hath beheld his face with a shout of triumph, Thus hath he given back to man his righteousness.

rotherham@Job:33:27 @ He sang before men, and said, I sinned, and, uprightness, I perverted, yet he requited me not;

rotherham@Job:33:28 @ He hath ransomed my soul from passing away into the pit, and, my life, in the light, shall have vision.

rotherham@Job:33:29 @ Lo! a these things, doth GOD work, two ways, three, with a man;

rotherham@Job:33:30 @ To bring back his soul from the pit, to enlighten with the light of the living.

rotherham@Job:33:31 @ Mark well, O Job, and hearken to me, Be silent, and, I, will speak:

rotherham@Job:33:32 @ If there is anything to say, reply to me, Speak, for I desire to justify thee;

rotherham@Job:33:33 @ If not, do, thou, hearken unto me, Be silent, that I may teach thee wisdom.

rotherham@Job:34:1 @ Furthermore Elihu responded, and said:

rotherham@Job:34:2 @ Hear, ye wise men, my words, and, ye who know, give ear unto me;

rotherham@Job:34:3 @ For, the ear, trieth words, as, the palate, tasteth in eating.

rotherham@Job:34:4 @ What is right, let us choose for ourselves, Let us know, among ourselves, what is good;

rotherham@Job:34:5 @ For Job hath said I am righteous, But, GOD, hath turned away my right;

rotherham@Job:34:6 @ Concerning mine own right, shall I tell a falsehood? Incurable is my diseasenot for any transgression.

rotherham@Job:34:7 @ What man is like Job? He drinketh in scoffing like water;

rotherham@Job:34:8 @ And is on the way to keep company, with the workers of iniquity, and to walk with lawless men.

rotherham@Job:34:9 @ For he hath said, It profiteth not a man, when, his good pleasure, is with God.

rotherham@Job:34:10 @ Wherefore, ye men of mind, hearken unto me, Far be it, that, GOD, should be lawless, or, the Almighty, be perverse!

rotherham@Job:34:11 @ For, what any son of earth doeth, he repayeth him, and, according to every mans course, he causeth him to find.

rotherham@Job:34:12 @ Nay, verily, GOD, will not condemn unjustly, nor, the Almighty, pervert justice.

rotherham@Job:34:13 @ Who set him in charge of the earth? Or who appointed the whole world?

rotherham@Job:34:14 @ If he should set against him his heart, His spirit and his inspiration, unto himself he should withdraw.

rotherham@Job:34:15 @ All flesh together, would cease to breathe, and, the earth-born, unto dust, would return.

rotherham@Job:34:16 @ If then understanding, hear this, Give thou ear to the teaching of my words:

rotherham@Job:34:17 @ Shall, the very hater of right, control? Or, the justthe mighty one, wilt thou condemn?

rotherham@Job:34:18 @ Doth one say to a king, Abandoned one! Or, Lawless one! unto nobles?

rotherham@Job:34:19 @ For he hath shewn no respect of persons unto princes, neither hath he recognised the rich rather than the poor? For, the work of his hands, are they all.

rotherham@Job:34:20 @ In a moment, they die, even in the middle of the night, A people are convulsed when they pass away, A mighty one is removed, without hand;

rotherham@Job:34:21 @ For, his eyes, are on the ways of a man, and, all his footsteps, he beholdeth,

rotherham@Job:34:22 @ No darkness, and no death-shade, where the workers of iniquity may hide.

rotherham@Job:34:23 @ For, unto no man, doth he appoint a repetition, in going unto GOD in judgment;

rotherham@Job:34:24 @ He shattereth mighty ones unsearchably, and setteth up others in their stead:

rotherham@Job:34:25 @ Therefore, he observeth their works, and overturneth in a night, and they are crushed;

rotherham@Job:34:26 @ In the place of lawless men, hath he chastised them, in presence of beholders.

rotherham@Job:34:27 @ Forasmuch, as they turned from following him, and, none of his ways, did they teach;

rotherham@Job:34:28 @ Causing to reach him the outcry of the poor, Yea, the outcry of the oppressed, he heareth.

rotherham@Job:34:29 @ When, he, giveth quiet, who then shall condemn? And, when he hideth face, who then shall sing of him? whether unto a nation or unto mankind altogether,

rotherham@Job:34:30 @ That impious men may not reign, nor be ensnarers of the people.

rotherham@Job:34:31 @ For, unto GOD, hath one said I have borne punishment, I will not be perverse;

rotherham@Job:34:32 @ What I see not, do, thou, shew me, If, perverseness, I have wrought, I will do it no more?

rotherham@Job:34:33 @ According to thy mind, must he requite it, that thou hast refused? For, thou, must choose, and not, I, What then thou knowest, speak!

rotherham@Job:34:34 @ The men of mind, will say to me, yea any wise man hearkening unto me:

rotherham@Job:34:35 @ Job, without knowledge, doth speak, and, his words, are not with discretion.

rotherham@Job:34:36 @ Would that Job might be tested to the uttermost, for replying with the men of iniquity:

rotherham@Job:34:37 @ For he addethunto his sinrebellion, In our midst, he clappeth his hands, and multiplieth his sayings against GOD.

rotherham@Job:35:1 @ Moreover Elihu, responded and said:

rotherham@Job:35:2 @ This, dost thou think to be right? Thou hast said My righteousness is more than GODS.

rotherham@Job:35:3 @ For thou dost say, How can one profit by thee? How can I benefit, more than by my sin?

rotherham@Job:35:4 @ I, will answer thee plainly, and thy friends with thee.

rotherham@Job:35:5 @ Look at the heavens and see, and survey the skiesthey are higher than thou.

rotherham@Job:35:6 @ If thou sinnest, what canst thou work against him? Or, if thy transgressions be multiplied, what canst thou do unto him?

rotherham@Job:35:7 @ If thou art righteous, what canst thou give unto him? Or what, at thy hand, can he accept?

rotherham@Job:35:8 @ Unto a man like thyself, might thy lawlessness

rotherham@Job:35:9 @ By reason of the multitude of oppressions, make outcry, They cry for help, by reason of the arm of the mighty;

rotherham@Job:35:10 @ But none saith Where is GOD my maker, Who giveth songs in the night;

rotherham@Job:35:11 @ Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and, beyond the bird of the heavens, giveth us wisdom?

rotherham@Job:35:12 @ There, make outcry, and he answereth not, because of the arrogance of evil-doers.

rotherham@Job:35:13 @ Howbeit, vanity, will GOD not hear, Yea, the Almighty, will not regard it.

rotherham@Job:35:14 @ How much less when thou sayest thou wilt not regard him! The cause, is before him, and thou must wait for him.

rotherham@Job:35:15 @ But, now, because it is not so, His anger hath punished, and yet hath he not at all known of transgression;

rotherham@Job:35:16 @ Thus, Job, vainly openeth his mouth, Without knowledge, he multiplieth words.

rotherham@Job:36:1 @ And Elihu added and said:

rotherham@Job:36:2 @ Restrain thyself for me a little, and I will shew thee, that, yetfor GOD, there is justification,

rotherham@Job:36:3 @ I will bring my knowledge from afar, and, to my Maker, will I attribute righteousness.

rotherham@Job:36:4 @ For, of a truthnot false, are my words, One of competent knowledge, is with thee.

rotherham@Job:36:5 @ Lo! GOD, is mighty, yet will he not despise, Mighty in vigour of mind;

rotherham@Job:36:6 @ He will not keep alive one who is lawless, but, the right of oppressed ones, will he grant;

rotherham@Job:36:7 @ He will not withdrawfrom a righteous onehis eyes, but, with kings on the throne, He hath seated men triumphantly, and they have been exalted.

rotherham@Job:36:8 @ But, if, bound in fetters, they have been captured with cords of affliction,

rotherham@Job:36:9 @ Then hath he declared to them their deed, and their transgressionsthat they were wont to behave themselves proudly;

rotherham@Job:36:10 @ Thus hath he uncovered their ear to a warning, and saidthat they should turn from iniquity.

rotherham@Job:36:11 @ If they would hearken, and serve, they should complete their days, in prosperity, and their years, in pleasantness;

rotherham@Job:36:12 @ But, if they would not hearken, by a weapon, should they pass away, and breathe their last, no one knowing.

rotherham@Job:36:13 @ Yea, the impious in heart, should store up anger, They should not cry for help, when he bound them.

rotherham@Job:36:14 @ Their soul should die in youth, and their life, among the unclean.

rotherham@Job:36:15 @ He would deliver the humbled in his humiliation, and would uncoverin oppressiontheir ear.

rotherham@Job:36:16 @ Yea he might even have allured theeout of the mouth of straitness, a wide spaceno narrowness there, and, the food set down on thy table, should have been full of fatness.

rotherham@Job:36:17 @ But, with the plea of a lawless one, thou art full, Plea and sentence, will take fast hold.

rotherham@Job:36:18 @ Because there is wrath, lest he take thee away with a stroke, Then let not, a great ransom, mislead thee.

rotherham@Job:36:19 @ Will he value thy riches? Nay not precious ore, nor all the forces of strength.

rotherham@Job:36:20 @ Do not pant for the night, when peoples disappear from their place.

rotherham@Job:36:21 @ Beware, do not turn unto iniquity, For, this, thou hast chosen rather than affliction.

rotherham@Job:36:22 @ Lo, GOD, exalteth himself by his strength, Who like him doth teach?

rotherham@Job:36:23 @ Who enjoined on him his way? and who ever said, Thou hast wrought perversity?

rotherham@Job:36:24 @ Remember, that thou extol his work, of which men have sung;

rotherham@Job:36:25 @ Every son of earth, hath viewed it, Mortal man, looketh at it from afar.

rotherham@Job:36:26 @ Lo, GOD, is greater than we can know, The number of his years, even past finding out!

rotherham@Job:36:27 @ For he draweth up drops of water, They trickle as rain through his mist;

rotherham@Job:36:28 @ With which the clouds flow down, They drop on man in abundance.

rotherham@Job:36:29 @ But surely none can understand the burstings of the cloud, the crashing of his pavilion!

rotherham@Job:36:30 @ Lo! he hath spread out over it, his lightning, The bed of the sea, hath he covered.

rotherham@Job:36:31 @ For, by those things, he executeth judgment on peoples, He giveth food in abundance:

rotherham@Job:36:32 @ Upon both hands, he putteth a covering of lightning, and layeth command upon it against an assailant:

rotherham@Job:36:33 @ His rolling thunder telleth concerning him, The cattle, even, concerning him that is coming up.

rotherham@Job:37:1 @ Yea, at this, my heart quaketh, and starteth up out of its place.

rotherham@Job:37:2 @ Hear! oh hear! the raging of his voice, A growling sound also, out of his mouth, goeth forth;

rotherham@Job:37:3 @ Under the whole heavens, he letteth it loose, His lightning also, unto the wings of the earth;

rotherham@Job:37:4 @ After it, roareth a voice, He thundereth with his voice of majesty, Nor will he hold them back, when his voice is heard.

rotherham@Job:37:5 @ GOD thundereth with his voice, wonderfully, Doing great things, which we cannot know;

rotherham@Job:37:6 @ For, to the snow, he saith, Fall earthwards, Also to the downpour of rain, yea the downpour of his mighty rains.

rotherham@Job:37:7 @ On the hand of every man, he setteth a seal, that all men may take note of his doing.

rotherham@Job:37:8 @ So then the wild-beast hath gone into covert, and, in its lairs, doth it remain.

rotherham@Job:37:9 @ Out of a chamber cometh a storm-wind, and, out of the north, cold.

rotherham@Job:37:10 @ By the breath of GOD, is givenfrost, and, the breadth of waters, is congealed;

rotherham@Job:37:11 @ Also, with moisture, burdeneth he the thick cloud, He disperseth his lightning-cloud;

rotherham@Job:37:12 @ Yea, the same, in circles, turneth itself to and fro, by his steering them to their work, whithersoever he commandeth them, over the face of the world, towards the earth.

rotherham@Job:37:13 @ Whether, as a rod, or for his earth, or in lovingkindness, he causeth it to come.

rotherham@Job:37:14 @ Give thou ear unto this, O Job, Stay, and consider well the wonders of GOD:

rotherham@Job:37:15 @ Canst thou got to know of GODS giving charge over them, or of the causing of the lightning of his cloud to shine forth?

rotherham@Job:37:16 @ Canst thou get to know concerning the poisings of the thick cloud, the wonders of one who is perfect in knowledge?

rotherham@Job:37:17 @ That thy garments should be hot when he quieteth the earth from the south?

rotherham@Job:37:18 @ Didst thou spread out, with him, the skies, strong as a molten mirror?

rotherham@Job:37:19 @ Let us know what we shall say to him, We cannot set in order, by reason of darkness.

rotherham@Job:37:20 @ Shall it be declared to himthat I would speak? Were any man to say aught, he might he destroyed?

rotherham@Job:37:21 @ Yet, now, men see not the light, bright though it is in the skies, when, a wind, hath passed over, and cleansed them.

rotherham@Job:37:22 @ Out of the north, a golden light cometh, Upon GOD, is fearful splendour:

rotherham@Job:37:23 @ The Almighty, whom we have not fully found out, is great in vigour, Neither, justice nor abounding righteousness, will he weaken.

rotherham@Job:37:24 @ Therefore, do men revere him, He will not regard any who are wise in heart.

rotherham@Job:38:1 @ Then Yahweh responded to Job, out of a storm, and said:
