Job 36

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.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 addens quoque Heliu haec locutus est

2 sustine me paululum et indicabo tibi adhuc enim habeo quod pro Deo loquar

3 repetam scientiam meam a principio et operatorem meum probabo iustum

4 vere enim absque mendacio sermones mei et perfecta scientia probabitur tibi

5 Deus potentes non abicit cum et ipse sit potens

6 sed non salvat impios et iudicium pauperibus tribuit

7 non aufert a iusto oculos suos et reges in solio conlocat in perpetuum et illi eriguntur

8 et si fuerint in catenis et vinciantur funibus paupertatis

9 indicabit eis opera eorum et scelera eorum quia violenti fuerint

10 revelabit quoque aurem eorum ut corripiat et loquetur ut revertantur ab iniquitate

11 si audierint et observaverint conplebunt dies suos in bono et annos suos in gloria

12 si autem non audierint transibunt per gladium et consumentur in stultitia

13 simulatores et callidi provocant iram Dei neque clamabunt cum vincti fuerint

14 morietur in tempestate anima eorum et vita eorum inter effeminatos

15 eripiet pauperem de angustia sua et revelabit in tribulatione aurem eius

16 igitur salvabit te de ore angusto latissime et non habentis fundamentum subter se requies autem mensae tuae erit plena pinguedine

17 causa tua quasi impii iudicata est causam iudiciumque recipies

18 non te ergo superet ira ut aliquem opprimas nec multitudo donorum inclinet te

19 depone magnitudinem tuam absque tribulatione et omnes robustos fortitudine

20 ne protrahas noctem ut ascendant populi pro eis

21 cave ne declines ad iniquitatem hanc enim coepisti sequi post miseriam

22 ecce Deus excelsus in fortitudine sua et nullus ei similis in legislatoribus

23 quis poterit scrutari vias eius aut quis ei dicere operatus es iniquitatem

24 memento quod ignores opus eius de quo cecinerunt viri

25 omnes homines vident eum unusquisque intuetur procul

26 ecce Deus magnus vincens scientiam nostram numerus annorum eius inaestimabilis

27 qui aufert stillas pluviae et effundit imbres ad instar gurgitum

28 qui de nubibus fluunt quae praetexunt cuncta desuper

29 si voluerit extendere nubes quasi tentorium suum

30 et fulgurare lumine suo desuper cardines quoque maris operiet

31 per haec enim iudicat populos et dat escas multis mortalibus

32 in manibus abscondit lucem et praecipit ei ut rursus adveniat

33 adnuntiat de ea amico suo quod possessio eius sit et ad eam possit ascendere
