Job Capítulo 36

36 : 1 Elihu also proceeded, and said,

36 : 2 Allow me a little, and I will show thee. For I have yet somewhat to say on God's behalf.

36 : 3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my maker.

36 : 4 (For truly my words are not false.) He who is perfect in knowledge is with thee.

36 : 5 Behold, God is mighty, and does not despise. He is mighty in strength of understanding.

36 : 6 He does not preserve the life of the wicked, but gives to the afflicted their right.

36 : 7 He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but he sets them forever with kings upon the throne, and they are exalted.

36 : 8 And if they be bound in fetters, and be taken in the cords of afflictions,

36 : 9 then he shows them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.

36 : 10 He also opens their ear to instruction, and commands that they return from iniquity.

36 : 11 If they hearken and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.

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

36 : 13 But those who are godless in heart lay up anger. They do not cry for help when he binds them.

36 : 14 They die in youth, and their life perishes among the unclean.

36 : 15 He delivers the afflicted by their affliction, and opens their ear in oppression.

36 : 16 Yea, he would have allured thee out of distress into a broad place, where there is no confinement, and that which is set on thy table would be full of fatness.

36 : 17 But thou have fulfilled the judgment of the wicked. Judgment and justice take hold,

36 : 18 and there shall be wrath upon the impious because of the ungodliness of bribes which the unrighteous receive.

36 : 19 Will thy cry not avail in distress, or all the forces of strength?

36 : 20 Do not desire the night, when peoples are cut off in their place.

36 : 21 Take heed. Do not turn to iniquity, for thou have fixed on this because of affliction.

36 : 22 Behold, God does loftily in his power. Who is a teacher like him?

36 : 23 Who has enjoined him his way? Or who can say, Thou have wrought unrighteousness?

36 : 24 Remember that thou magnify his work, of which men have sung.

36 : 25 All men have looked on it. Man beholds it afar off.

36 : 26 Behold, God is great, and we do not know him. The number of his years is unsearchable.

36 : 27 For he draws up the drops of water, which distil in rain from his vapor,

36 : 28 which the skies pour down and drop upon man abundantly.

36 : 29 Yea, can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, the thunderings of his pavilion?

36 : 30 Behold, he spreads his light around him, and he covers the bottom of the sea.

36 : 31 For by these he judges the peoples. He gives food in abundance.

36 : 32 He covers his hands with the lightning, and gives it a command that it strike the mark.

36 : 33 The noise of it tells concerning him. The cattle also concerning the storm that comes up.
