Iob 36

¹Elihu also proceeded, and said,

²Suffer mee a little, and I will shewe thee, that I haue yet to speake on Gods behalfe.

³I will fetch my knowledge from afarre, and will ascribe righteousnesse to my Maker.

⁴For truely my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge, is with thee.

⁵Behold, God is mightie, and despiseth not any: he is mightie in strength and wisedome.

⁶He preserueth not the life of the wicked: but giueth right to the poore.

⁷Hee withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne, yea he doth establish them for euer, and they are exalted.

⁸And if they bee bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction:

⁹Then hee sheweth them their worke, and their transgressions, that they haue exceeded.

¹⁰He openeth also their eare to discipline, and commandeth that they returne from iniquitie.

¹¹If they obey and serue him, they shall spend their dayes in prosperitie, and their yeeres in pleasures.

¹²But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.

¹³But the hypocrites in heart heape vp wrath: they crie not when he bindeth them.

¹⁴They die in youth, and their life is among the vncleane.

¹⁵He deliuereth the poore in his affliction, and openeth their eares in oppression.

¹⁶Euen so would he haue remooued thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitnesse, and that which should be set on thy table, should be full of fatnesse.

¹⁷But thou hast fulfilled the iudgement of the wicked: iudgement and iustice take hold on thee.

¹⁸Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransome cannot deliuer thee.

¹⁹Will he esteeme thy riches? no not gold, nor all the forces of strength.

²⁰Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.

²¹Take heed, regard not iniquitie: for this hast thou chosen rather then affliction.

²²Beholde, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?

²³Who hath inioyned him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquitie?

²⁴Remember that thou magnifie his worke, which men behold.

²⁵Euery man may see it, man may behold it afarre off.

²⁶Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his yeeres be searched out.

²⁷For hee maketh small the drops of water: they powre downe raine according to the vapour thereof:

²⁸Which the clouds doe drop, and distill vpon man aboundantly.

²⁹Also can any vnderstand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?

³⁰Behold, he spreadeth his light vpon it, and couereth the bottome of the sea.

³¹For by them iudgeth he the people, he giueth meate in abundance.

³²With clouds he couereth the light, and commaundeth it not to shine, by the cloud that commeth betwixt.

³³The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattel also concerning the Uapour.
