< Job 36 >

1 And he added Elihu and he said.
And Elihu addeth and saith: —
2 Wait for me a little so I may show you that still [are] for God words.
Honour me a little, and I shew thee, That yet for God [are] words.
3 I will bear knowledge my from afar (and to maker my *LAB(h)*) I will ascribe righteousness.
I lift up my knowledge from afar, And to my Maker I ascribe righteousness.
4 For truly not [are] falsehood words my [one] complete of knowledge [is] with you.
For, truly, my words [are] not false, The perfect in knowledge [is] with thee.
5 There! God [is] mighty and not he rejects mighty strength of heart.
Lo, God [is] mighty, and despiseth not, Mighty [in] power [and] heart.
6 Not he preserves alive [the] wicked and [the] justice of afflicted [people] he gives.
He reviveth not the wicked, And the judgment of the poor appointeth;
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 withdraweth not from the righteous His eyes, And [from] kings on the throne, And causeth them to sit for ever, and they are high,
8 And if [they are] bound in fetters they are caught! in cords of affliction.
And if prisoners in fetters They are captured with cords of affliction,
9 And he told to them work their and transgressions their that they were behaving proudly.
Then He declareth to them their work, And their transgressions, Because they have become mighty,
10 And he uncovered ear their for correction and he said that they will turn away! from wickedness.
And He uncovereth their ear for instruction, And saith that they turn back from iniquity.
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 do hear and serve, They complete their days in good, And their years in pleasantness.
12 And if not they will hear by a missile they will pass away and they may expire like not knowledge.
And if they do not hearken, By the dart they pass away, And expire without knowledge.
13 And [people] godless of heart they put anger not they cry for help if he has bound them.
And the profane in heart set the face, They cry not when He hath bound them.
14 It dies in youth self their and life their among the temple prostitutes.
Their soul dieth in youth, And their life among the defiled.
15 He rescues [the] afflicted by affliction his and he uncovers by oppression ear their.
He draweth out the afflicted in his affliction, And uncovereth in oppression their ear.
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.
And also He moved thee from a strait place, [To] a broad place — no straitness under it, And the sitting beyond of thy table Hath been full of fatness.
17 And judgment of [the] wicked you are full judgment and justice they take hold of [you].
And the judgment of the wicked thou hast fulfilled, Judgment and justice are upheld — because of fury,
18 For rage lest it should entice you in mockery and [the] greatness of [the] ransom may not it turn aside you.
Lest He move thee with a stroke, And the abundance of an atonement turn thee not aside.
19 ¿ Will it set in order opulence your not in distress and all [the] efforts of strength.
Doth He value thy riches? He hath gold, and all the forces of power.
20 May not you long for the night to go up peoples in place their.
Desire not the night, For the going up of peoples in their stead.
21 Take heed may not you turn to wickedness for this you have chosen more than affliction.
Take heed — do not turn unto iniquity, For on this thou hast fixed Rather than [on] affliction.
22 There! God he is exalted in power his who? like him [is] a teacher.
Lo, God doth sit on high by His power, Who [is] like Him — a teacher?
23 Who? has he assigned on him way his and who? has he said you have done unrighteousness.
Who hath appointed unto Him his way? And who said, 'Thou hast done iniquity?'
24 Remember that you will magnify work his which they have sung people.
Remember that thou magnify His work That men have beheld.
25 All humankind they have looked on it human[s] he looks from a distance.
All men have looked on it, Man looketh attentively from afar.
26 There! God [is] exalted and not we know [him] [the] number of years his and not inquiry.
Lo, God [is] high, And we know not the number of His years, Yea, there [is] no searching.
27 For he draws up drops of water they refine rain to mist its.
When He doth diminish droppings of the waters, They refine rain according to its vapour,
28 Which they flow [the] clouds they drip on - humankind numerous.
Which clouds do drop, They distil on man abundantly.
29 Also if anyone understands [the] spreading out of dark cloud [the] crashes of pavilion his.
Yea, doth [any] understand The spreadings out of a cloud? The noises of His tabernacle?
30 There! he spreads out on him light his and [the] roots of the sea he covers.
Lo, He hath spread over it His light, And the roots of the sea He hath covered,
31 For by them he judges peoples he gives food to abundance.
For by them He doth judge peoples, He giveth food in abundance.
32 Over palms of hands he covers light and he commanded to it in an assailant.
By two palms He hath covered the light, And layeth a charge over it in meeting,
33 It tells on him roar his livestock also on [one who] comes up.
He sheweth by it [to] his friend substance, Anger against perversity.
