Book of Job, Chapter 36
Chapter 36 of Job
for I have yet something to say on God’s behalf.
and ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
one who is perfect in knowledge is with you.
he is mighty in strength of understanding.
but gives the afflicted their right.
but with kings upon the throne
he sets them for ever, and they are exalted.
and caught in the cords of affliction,
and their transgressions, that they are behaving arrogantly.
and commands that they return from iniquity.
they complete their days in prosperity,
and their years in pleasantness.
and die without knowledge.
they do not cry for help when he binds them.
and their life ends in shame.[a]
and opens their ear by adversity.
into a broad place where there was no cramping,
and what was set on your table was full of fatness.
judgment and justice seize you.
and let not the greatness of the ransom turn you aside.
or all the force of your strength?
when peoples are cut off in their place.
for this you have chosen rather than affliction.
who is a teacher like him?
or who can say, ‘Thou hast done wrong’?
of which men have sung.
man beholds it from afar.
the number of his years is unsearchable.
he[b] distils his mist in rain
and drop upon man abundantly.
the thunderings of his pavilion?
and covers the roots of the sea.
he gives food in abundance.
and commands it to strike the mark.
who is jealous with anger against iniquity.FOOTNOTES
