Job
Chapters 35-37 Elihu Condemns Job Job 35:1 Elihu spake moreover, and said, Job 35:2 Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's? Job 35:3 For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin? Job 35:4 I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee. Job 35:5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou. Job 35:6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him? Job 35:7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand? Job 35:8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man. Job 35:9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty. Job 35:10 But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night; Job 35:11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven? Job 35:12 There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men. Job 35:13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it. Job 35:14 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him. Job 35:15 But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity: Job 35:16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge. Elihu Extols God's Greatness Job 36:1 Elihu also proceeded, and said, Job 36:2 Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf. Job 36:3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker. Job 36:4 For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee. Job 36:5 Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom. Job 36:6 He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor. Job 36:7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted. Job 36:8 And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction; Job 36:9 Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded. Job 36:10 He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity. Job 36:11 If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. Job 36:12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. Job 36:13 But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them. Job 36:14 They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean. Job 36:15 He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression. Job 36:16 Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness. Job 36:17 But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee. Job 36:18 Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee. Job 36:19 Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength. Job 36:20 Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place. Job 36:21 Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction. Job 36:22 Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him? Job 36:23 Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity? Job 36:24 Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold. Job 36:25 Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off. Job 36:26 Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out. Job 36:27 For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof: Job 36:28 Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly. Job 36:29 Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle? Job 36:30 Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea. Job 36:31 For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance. Job 36:32 With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt. Job 36:33 The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour. Elihu Proclaims God's Majesty Job 37:1 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place. Job 37:2 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth. Job 37:3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth. Job 37:4 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. Job 37:5 God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. Job 37:6 For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength. Job 37:7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work. Job 37:8 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places. Job 37:9 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north. Job 37:10 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened. Job 37:11 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud: Job 37:12 And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth. Job 37:13 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy. Job 37:14 Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. Job 37:15 Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine? Job 37:16 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge? Job 37:17 How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind? Job 37:18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass? Job 37:19 Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness. Job 37:20 Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up. Job 37:21 And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them. Job 37:22 Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty. Job 37:23 Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict. Job 37:24 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart. |
