Job 36

Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX

1 And Elius further continued, and said,

2 Wait for me yet a little while, that I may teach thee: for there is yet speech in me.

3 Having fetched my knowledge from afar, and according to my works,

4 I will speak just things truly, and thou shalt not unjustly receive unjust words.

5 But know that the Lord will not cast off an innocent man: being mighty in strength of wisdom,

6 he will not by any means save alive the ungodly: and he will grant the judgment of the poor.

7 He will not turn away his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne: and he will establish them in triumph, and they shall be exalted.

8 But they that are bound in fetters shall be holden in cords of poverty.

9 And he shall recount to them their works, and their transgressions, for such will act with violence.

10 But he will hearken to the righteous: and he has said that they shall turn from unrighteousness.

11 If they should hear and serve , they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in honour.

12 But he preserves not the ungodly; because they are not willing to know the Lord, and because when reproved they were disobedient.

13 And the hypocrites in heart will array wrath ; they will not cry, because he has bound them.

14 Therefore let their soul die in youth, and their life be wounded by messengers .

15 Because they afflicted the weak and helpless: and he will vindicate the judgment of the meek.

16 And he has also enticed thee out of the mouth of the enemy:

17 a deep gulf a rushing stream beneath it, and thy table came down full of fatness. Judgment shall not fail from the righteous;

18 but there shall be wrath upon the ungodly, by reason of the ungodliness of the bribes which they received for iniquities.

19 Let not mind willingly turn thee aside from the petition of the feeble that are in distress.

20 And draw not forth all the mighty by night, so that the people should go up instead of them.

21 But take heed lest thou do that which is wrong: for of this thou has made choice because of poverty.

22 Behold, the Mighty One shall prevail by his strength: for who is powerful as he is?

23 And who is he that examines his works? or who can say, he has wrought injustice?

24 Remember that his works are great those which men have attempted.

25 Every man has seen in himself, how many mortals are wounded.

26 Behold, the Mighty One is great, and we shall not know : the number of his years is even infinite.

27 And the drops of rain are numbered by him, and shall be poured out in rain to form a cloud.

28 The ancient shall flow, and the clouds overshadow innumerable mortals: he has fixed a time to cattle, and they know the order of rest. by all these things thy understanding is not astonished, neither is thy mind disturbed in body.

29 And though one should understand the outspreadings of the clouds, the measure of his tabernacle;

30 behold he will stretch his bow against him, and he covers the bottom of the sea.

31 For by them he will judge the nations: he will give food to him that has strength.

32 He has hidden the light in hands, and given charge concerning it to the interposing .

33 The Lord will declare concerning this his friend: a portion also for unrighteousness.

New International Version NIV

1 Elihu continued:

2 “Bear with me a little longer and I will show you that there is more to be said in God’s behalf.

3 I get my knowledge from afar; I will ascribe justice to my Maker.

4 Be assured that my words are not false; one who has perfect knowledge is with you.

5 “God is mighty, but despises no one; he is mighty, and firm in his purpose.

6 He does not keep the wicked alive but gives the afflicted their rights.

7 He does not take his eyes off the righteous; he enthrones them with kings and exalts them forever.

8 But if people are bound in chains, held fast by cords of affliction,

9 he tells them what they have done— that they have sinned arrogantly.

10 He makes them listen to correction and commands them to repent of their evil.

11 If they obey and serve him, they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity and their years in contentment.

12 But if they do not listen, they will perish by the swordand die without knowledge.

13 “The godless in heart harbor resentment; even when he fetters them, they do not cry for help.

14 They die in their youth, among male prostitutes of the shrines.

15 But those who suffer he delivers in their suffering; he speaks to them in their affliction.

16 “He is wooing you from the jaws of distress to a spacious place free from restriction, to the comfort of your table laden with choice food.

17 But now you are laden with the judgment due the wicked; judgment and justice have taken hold of you.

18 Be careful that no one entices you by riches; do not let a large bribe turn you aside.

19 Would your wealth or even all your mighty efforts sustain you so you would not be in distress?

20 Do not long for the night, to drag people away from their homes.

21 Beware of turning to evil, which you seem to prefer to affliction.

22 “God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him?

23 Who has prescribed his ways for him, or said to him, ‘You have done wrong’?

24 Remember to extol his work, which people have praised in song.

25 All humanity has seen it; mortals gaze on it from afar.

26 How great is God—beyond our understanding! The number of his years is past finding out.

27 “He draws up the drops of water, which distill as rain to the streams ;

28 the clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind.

29 Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds, how he thunders from his pavilion?

30 See how he scatters his lightning about him, bathing the depths of the sea.

31 This is the way he governs the nations and provides food in abundance.

32 He fills his hands with lightning and commands it to strike its mark.

33 His thunder announces the coming storm; even the cattle make known its approach.
