36:1 And
Elihu
addeth
and
saith:
--
36:2 Honour
me
a
little,
and
I
shew
thee,
That
yet
for
God
[are]
words.
36:3 I
lift
up
my
knowledge
from
afar,
And
to
my
Maker
I
ascribe
righteousness.
36:4 For,
truly,
my
words
[are]
not
false,
The
perfect
in
knowledge
[is]
with
thee.
36:5 Lo,
God
[is]
mighty,
and
despiseth
not,
Mighty
[in]
power
[and]
heart.
36:6 He
reviveth
not
the
wicked,
And
the
judgment
of
the
poor
appointeth;
36:7 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,
36:8 And
if
prisoners
in
fetters
They
are
captured
with
cords
of
affliction,
36:9 Then
He
declareth
to
them
their
work,
And
their
transgressions,
Because
they
have
become
mighty,
36:10 And
He
uncovereth
their
ear
for
instruction,
And
saith
that
they
turn
back
from
iniquity.
36:11 If
they
do
hear
and
serve,
They
complete
their
days
in
good,
And
their
years
in
pleasantness.
36:12 And
if
they
do
not
hearken,
By
the
dart
they
pass
away,
And
expire
without
knowledge.
36:13 And
the
profane
in
heart
set
the
face,
They
cry
not
when
He
hath
bound
them.
36:14 Their
soul
dieth
in
youth,
And
their
life
among
the
defiled.
36:15 He
draweth
out
the
afflicted
in
his
affliction,
And
uncovereth
in
oppression
their
ear.
36:16 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.
36:17 And
the
judgment
of
the
wicked
thou
hast
fulfilled,
Judgment
and
justice
are
upheld--because
of
fury,
36:18 Lest
He
move
thee
with
a
stroke,
And
the
abundance
of
an
atonement
turn
thee
not
aside.
36:19 Doth
He
value
thy
riches
He
hath
gold,
and
all
the
forces
of
power.
36:20 Desire
not
the
night,
For
the
going
up
of
peoples
in
their
stead.
36:21 Take
heed--do
not
turn
unto
iniquity,
For
on
this
thou
hast
fixed
Rather
than
[on]
affliction.
36:22 Lo,
God
doth
sit
on
high
by
His
power,
Who
[is]
like
Him--a
teacher
36:23 Who
hath
appointed
unto
Him
his
way
And
who
said,
`Thou
hast
done
iniquity'
36:24 Remember
that
thou
magnify
His
work
That
men
have
beheld.
36:25 All
men
have
looked
on
it,
Man
looketh
attentively
from
afar.
36:26 Lo,
God
[is]
high,
And
we
know
not
the
number
of
His
years,
Yea,
there
[is]
no
searching.
36:27 When
He
doth
diminish
droppings
of
the
waters,
They
refine
rain
according
to
its
vapour,
36:28 Which
clouds
do
drop,
They
distil
on
man
abundantly.
36:29 Yea,
doth
[any]
understand
The
spreadings
out
of
a
cloud
The
noises
of
His
tabernacle
36:30 Lo,
He
hath
spread
over
it
His
light,
And
the
roots
of
the
sea
He
hath
covered,
36:31 For
by
them
He
doth
judge
peoples,
He
giveth
food
in
abundance.
36:32 By
two
palms
He
hath
covered
the
light,
And
layeth
a
charge
over
it
in
meeting,
36:33 He
sheweth
by
it
[to]
his
friend
substance,
Anger
against
perversity.
