== Iyov (Book of Job), Chapter 36 ==

<named id="1"/>1 Elihu also proceeded, and said:

<named id="2"/>2 Suffer me a little, and I will tell thee; for there are yet words on G-d's behalf.

<named id="3"/>3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

<named id="4"/>4 For truly my words are not false; one that is upright in mind is with thee.

<named id="5"/>5 Behold, G-d is mighty, yet He despiseth not any; He is mighty in strength of understanding.

<named id="6"/>6 He preserveth not the life of the wicked; but giveth to the poor their right.

<named id="7"/>7 He withdraweth not His eyes from the righteous; but with kings upon the throne He setteth them for ever, and they are exalted.

<named id="8"/>8 And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;

<named id="9"/>9 Then He declareth unto them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.

<named id="10"/>10 He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.

<named id="11"/>11 If they hearken and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.

<named id="12"/>12 But if they hearken not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.

<named id="13"/>13 But they that are godless in heart lay up anger; they cry not for help when He bindeth them.

<named id="14"/>14 Their soul perisheth in youth, and their life as that of the depraved.

<named id="15"/>15 He delivereth the afflicted by His affliction, and openeth their ear by tribulation.

<named id="16"/>16 Yea, He hath allured thee out of distress into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which is set on thy table is full of fatness;

<named id="17"/>17 And thou art full of the judgment of the wicked; judgment and justice take hold on them.

<named id="18"/>18 For beware of wrath, lest thou be led away by thy sufficiency; neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside.

<named id="19"/>19 Will thy riches avail, that are without stint, or all the forces of thy strength?

<named id="20"/>20 Desire not the night, when peoples are cut off in their place.

<named id="21"/>21 Take heed, regard not iniquity; for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.

<named id="22"/>22 Behold, G-d doeth loftily in His power; who is a teacher like Him?

<named id="23"/>23 Who hath enjoined Him His way? Or who hath said: 'Thou hast wrought unrighteousness'?

<named id="24"/>24 Remember that thou magnify His work, whereof men have sung.

<named id="25"/>25 All men have looked thereon; man beholdeth it afar off.

<named id="26"/>26 Behold, G-d is great, beyond our knowledge; the number of His years is unsearchable.

<named id="27"/>27 For He draweth away the drops of water, which distil rain from His vapour;

<named id="28"/>28 Which the skies pour down and drop upon the multitudes of men.

<named id="29"/>29 Yea, can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, the crashings of His pavilion?

<named id="30"/>30 Behold, He spreadeth His light upon it; and He covereth the depths of the sea.

<named id="31"/>31 For by these He judgeth the peoples; He giveth food in abundance.

<named id="32"/>32 He covereth His hands with the lightning, and giveth it a charge that it strike the mark.

<named id="33"/>33 The noise thereof telleth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the storm that cometh up.
