< Job 36 >

1 And he added Elihu and he said.
Elihu continued speaking.
2 Wait for me a little so I may show you that still [are] for God words.
“Be patient with me just a little while longer and let me explain. I still have something to say on God's behalf.
3 I will bear knowledge my from afar (and to maker my *LAB(h)*) I will ascribe righteousness.
I will share my extensive knowledge, and I will prove my Creator is in the right.
4 For truly not [are] falsehood words my [one] complete of knowledge [is] with you.
I assure you that what I'm saying are not lies, for I am a man whose knowledge is of the highest order.
5 There! God [is] mighty and not he rejects mighty strength of heart.
God is mighty, but doesn't despise anyone; he is powerful in strength and understanding.
6 Not he preserves alive [the] wicked and [the] justice of afflicted [people] he gives.
He does not keep the wicked alive, but gives justice to the oppressed.
7 Not he withdraws from [the] righteous eyes his and with kings to the throne and he has made sit them to perpetuity and they have become exalted.
He always pays attention those who do right, and places them on thrones with kings, honoring them eternally.
8 And if [they are] bound in fetters they are caught! in cords of affliction.
If they are bound in chains, tied down by ropes of suffering,
9 And he told to them work their and transgressions their that they were behaving proudly.
then he explains to them what they've done—their arrogant sins.
10 And he uncovered ear their for correction and he said that they will turn away! from wickedness.
He makes them pay attention and orders them to stop sinning.
11 If they will hear and they may serve [him] they will bring to an end days their in good and years their in pleasant [things].
If they listen and do what God says they will live out their lives in happiness.
12 And if not they will hear by a missile they will pass away and they may expire like not knowledge.
But if they do not listen they will die a violent death, ignorant of God.
13 And [people] godless of heart they put anger not they cry for help if he has bound them.
Those who reject God hold on to their bitterness. Even when he disciplines them they do not cry out to him for help.
14 It dies in youth self their and life their among the temple prostitutes.
They die in their youth; their lives end among the male temple prostitutes.
15 He rescues [the] afflicted by affliction his and he uncovers by oppression ear their.
Through suffering God saves those who suffer; he gets their attention through their troubles.
16 And also he has allured you - from [the] mouth of enemy a broad place not constraint in place its and [the] quietness of table your it was full fatness.
God is trying to rescue you from the jaws of trouble to a place of freedom and safety, filling your table full of the very best food.
17 And judgment of [the] wicked you are full judgment and justice they take hold of [you].
But you are preoccupied with the fate of the wicked; judgment and justice fill your mind.
18 For rage lest it should entice you in mockery and [the] greatness of [the] ransom may not it turn aside you.
But be careful that your anger doesn't seduce you into mockery; and don't let the size of the ‘bribe’ lead you into sin.
19 ¿ Will it set in order opulence your not in distress and all [the] efforts of strength.
Will your cry for help sustain you when troubles come?
20 May not you long for the night to go up peoples in place their.
Do not long for the night when people are suddenly taken away.
21 Take heed may not you turn to wickedness for this you have chosen more than affliction.
Watch out that you don't turn to evil! For it's because of this that you are being tested through suffering.
22 There! God he is exalted in power his who? like him [is] a teacher.
Look how much power God has! What teacher is like him?
23 Who? has he assigned on him way his and who? has he said you have done unrighteousness.
Who has instructed him what to do? Who can say to him ‘You have done wrong’?
24 Remember that you will magnify work his which they have sung people.
Instead you should praise him for what he has done, as people have done in song.
25 All humankind they have looked on it human[s] he looks from a distance.
Everyone has seen God's creation, though only from a distance.
26 There! God [is] exalted and not we know [him] [the] number of years his and not inquiry.
See how great God is—more than we can understand! No one can count his years.
27 For he draws up drops of water they refine rain to mist its.
He draws up the water and distils it into the dew and the rain.
28 Which they flow [the] clouds they drip on - humankind numerous.
The clouds pour down rain, falling plentifully on humankind.
29 Also if anyone understands [the] spreading out of dark cloud [the] crashes of pavilion his.
Can anyone understand how the clouds spread out, or how thunder roars from where he lives?
30 There! he spreads out on him light his and [the] roots of the sea he covers.
See how he scatters lightning around him, and covers the depths of the sea in darkness.
31 For by them he judges peoples he gives food to abundance.
By these actions he rules the people, he provides abundant food.
32 Over palms of hands he covers light and he commanded to it in an assailant.
He holds lightning in his hands and commands where it should strike.
33 It tells on him roar his livestock also on [one who] comes up.
Thunder declares his presence—even cattle know when a storm is coming.
