Job 36
Elihu Speaks Of God’s Dealings With Men
1Then Elihu continued and said,
That there is yet more to be said in God’s behalf.
And I will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.
He is mighty in strength of understanding.
But gives justice to the afflicted.
But with kings on the throne
He has seated them forever, and they are exalted.
And are caught in the cords of affliction,
And their transgressions, that they have magnified themselves.
And commands that they return from evil.
They will end their days in prosperity
And their years in pleasures.
And they will die without knowledge.
They do not cry for help when He binds them.
And their life perishes among the cult prostitutes.
And opens their ear in time of oppression.
Instead of it, a broad place with no constraint;
And that which was set on your table was full of fatness.
Judgment and justice take hold of you.
And do not let the greatness of the ransom turn you aside.
Or all the forces of your strength?
When people vanish in their place.
For you have preferred this to affliction.
Who is a teacher like Him?
And who has said, ‘You have done wrong’?
Of which men have sung.
Man beholds from afar.
The number of His years is unsearchable.
They distill rain from the mist,
They drip upon man abundantly.
The thundering of His pavilion?
And He covers the depths of the sea.
He gives food in abundance.
And commands it to strike the mark.
The cattle also, concerning what is coming up.
