{Job 36:1} Elihu also proceeded, and said, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:2} Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that [I have] yet to speak on God’s behalf. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:3} I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:4} For truly my words [shall] not [be] false: he that is perfect in knowledge [is] with thee. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:5} Behold, God [is] mighty, and despiseth not [any: he is] mighty in strength [and] wisdom. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:6} He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:7} He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings [are they] on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:8} And if [they be] bound in fetters, [and] be holden in cords of affliction; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:9} Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:10} He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:11} If they obey and serve [him,] they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:12} But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:13} But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:14} They die in youth, and their life [is] among the unclean. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:15} He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:16} Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait [into] a broad place, where [there is] no straitness; and that which [should be] set on thy table should be full of fatness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:17} But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold [on thee. ] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:18} Because [there is] wrath, [beware] lest he take thee away with [his] stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:19} Will he esteem thy riches? [no,] not gold, nor all the forces of strength. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:20} Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:21} Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:22} Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:23} Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:24} Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:25} Every man may see it; man may behold [it] afar off. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:26} Behold, God [is] great, and we know [him] not, neither can the number of his years be searched out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:27} For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:28} Which the clouds do drop [and] distil upon man abundantly. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:29} Also can [any] understand the spreadings of the clouds, [or] the noise of his tabernacle? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:30} Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:31} For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:32} With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it [not to shine] by [the cloud] that cometh betwixt. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 36:33} The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.
