< Job 36 >

1 And he added Elihu and he said.
Elihu continued on and said,
2 Wait for me a little so I may show you that still [are] for God words.
“Permit me to speak a little longer, and I will show you some things because I have a little more to say in defense of God.
3 I will bear knowledge my from afar and to maker my I will ascribe righteousness.
I will obtain my knowledge from far off; I will acknowledge that righteousness belongs to my Maker.
4 For truly not [are] falsehood words my [one] complete of knowledge [is] with you.
For indeed, my words will not be false; someone who is mature in knowledge is with you.
5 There! God [is] mighty and not he rejects mighty strength of heart.
See, God is mighty, and despises no one; he is mighty in strength of understanding.
6 Not he preserves alive [the] wicked and [the] justice of afflicted [people] he gives.
He does not preserve the life of wicked people but instead does what is right for those who suffer.
7 Not he withdraws from [the] righteous eyes his and kings to the throne and he has made sit them to perpetuity and they have become exalted.
He does not withdraw his eyes from righteous people but instead sets them on thrones like kings forever, and they are lifted up.
8 And if [they are] bound in fetters they are caught! in cords of affliction.
If they are bound in chains and trapped in cords of suffering,
9 And he told to them work their and transgressions their that they were behaving proudly.
then he reveals to them what they have done, and their transgressions and their pride.
10 And he uncovered ear their for correction and he said that they will turn away! from wickedness.
He also opens their ears to his instruction, and commands them to turn back from iniquity.
11 If they will hear and they may serve [him] they will bring to an end days their in good and years their in pleasant [things].
If they listen to him and worship him, they will spend their days in prosperity, their years in contentment.
12 And if not they will hear by a missile they will pass away and they may expire like not knowledge.
However, if they do not listen, they will perish by the sword; they will die because they have no knowledge.
13 And [people] godless of heart they put anger not they cry for help if he has bound them.
Those who are godless in heart store up their anger; they do not cry out for help even when God ties them up.
14 It dies in youth self their and life their among the temple prostitutes.
They die in their youth; their lives end among the cultic prostitutes.
15 He rescues [the] afflicted by affliction his and he uncovers by oppression ear their.
God rescues afflicted people by means of their afflictions; he opens their ears by means of their oppression.
16 And also he has allured you - from [the] mouth of enemy a broad place not constraint in place its and [the] quietness of table your it was full fatness.
Indeed, he would like to draw you out of distress into a broad place where there is no hardship and where your table would be set with food full of fatness.
17 And judgment of [the] wicked you are full judgment and justice they take hold of [you].
But you are full of judgment on wicked people; judgment and justice have laid hold of you.
18 For rage lest it should entice you in mockery and [the] greatness of [the] ransom may not it turn aside you.
Do not let your anger entice you to mockery, or the greatness of a ransom to turn you aside.
19 ¿ Will it set in order opulence your not in distress and all [the] efforts of strength.
Can your wealth benefit you, so that you will not be in distress, or can all the force of your strength help you?
20 May not you long for the night to go up peoples in place their.
Do not desire the night, to commit sin against others, when peoples are cut off in their place.
21 Take heed may not you turn to wickedness for this you have chosen more than affliction.
Be careful that you do not turn to sin because you are being tested by suffering so that you will stay away from sinning.
22 There! God he is exalted in power his who? like him [is] a teacher.
See, God is exalted in his power; who is a teacher like him?
23 Who? has he assigned on him way his and who? has he said you have done unrighteousness.
Who has ever instructed him about his way? Who can ever say to him, 'You have committed unrighteousness?'
24 Remember that you will magnify work his which they have sung people.
Remember to praise his deeds, of which people have sung.
25 All humankind they have looked on it human[s] he looks from a distance.
All people have looked on those deeds, but they see those deeds only from far away.
26 There! God [is] exalted and not we know [him] [the] number of years his and not inquiry.
See, God is great, but we do not understand him well; the number of his years is incalculable.
27 For he draws up drops of water they refine rain to mist its.
For he draws up the drops of water that he distills as rain from his vapor,
28 Which they flow [the] clouds they drip on - humankind numerous.
which the clouds pour down and drop in abundance on mankind.
29 Also if anyone understands [the] spreading out of dark cloud [the] crashes of pavilion his.
Indeed, can anyone understand the extensive spread of the clouds and the thunder from his hut?
30 There! he spreads out on him light his and [the] roots of the sea he covers.
See, he spreads his lightning around him and covers the roots of the sea.
31 For by them he judges peoples he gives food to abundance.
In this way he judges the peoples and gives food in abundance.
32 Over palms of hands he covers light and he commanded to it in an assailant.
He fills his hands with the lightning until he commands it to strike its mark.
33 It tells on him roar his livestock also on [one who] comes up.
Its thunder warns of the storm, the cattle can also hear it is coming.
