Job 36 (WEBP)

[1] Elihu also continued, and said,
[2] “Bear with me a little, and I will show you; for I still have something to say on God’s behalf.
[3] I will get my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
[4] For truly my words are not false. One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.
[5] “Behold, God is mighty, and doesn’t despise anyone. He is mighty in strength of understanding.
[6] He doesn’t preserve the life of the wicked, but gives justice to the afflicted.
[7] He doesn’t withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne, he sets them forever, and they are exalted.
[8] If they are bound in fetters, and are taken in the cords of afflictions,
[9] then he shows them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.
[10] He also opens their ears to instruction, and commands that they return from iniquity.
[11] If they listen and serve him, they will spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
[12] But if they don’t listen, they will perish by the sword; they will die without knowledge.
[13] “But those who are godless in heart lay up anger. They don’t cry for help when he binds them.
[14] They die in youth. Their life perishes among the unclean.
[15] He delivers the afflicted by their affliction, and opens their ear in oppression.
[16] Yes, he would have allured you out of distress, into a wide place, where there is no restriction. That which is set on your table would be full of fatness.
[17] “But you are full of the judgment of the wicked. Judgment and justice take hold of you.
[18] Don’t let riches entice you to wrath, neither let the great size of a bribe turn you aside.
[19] Would your wealth sustain you in distress, or all the might of your strength?
[20] Don’t desire the night, when people are cut off in their place.
[21] Take heed, don’t regard iniquity; for you have chosen this rather than affliction.
[22] Behold, God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him?
[23] Who has prescribed his way for him? Or who can say, ‘You have committed unrighteousness’?
[24] “Remember that you magnify his work, about which men have sung.
[25] All men have looked on it. Man sees it afar off.
[26] Behold, God is great, and we don’t know him. The number of his years is unsearchable.
[27] For he draws up the drops of water, which distill in rain from his vapor,
[28] which the skies pour down and which drop on man abundantly.
[29] Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds and the thunderings of his pavilion?
[30] Behold, he spreads his light around him. He covers the bottom of the sea.
[31] For by these he judges the people. He gives food in abundance.
[32] He covers his hands with the lightning, and commands it to strike the mark.
[33] Its noise tells about him, and the livestock also, concerning the storm that comes up.

Job 36 (KJVS)

[1] Elihu also proceeded, () and said, ()
[2] Suffer () me a little, and I will shew () thee That I have yet to speak on God’s behalf.
[3] I will fetch () my knowledge from afar, And will ascribe () righteousness to my Maker. ()
[4] For truly my words shall not be false: He that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.
[5] Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth () not any: He is mighty in strength and wisdom.
[6] He preserveth not the life () of the wicked: But giveth () right to the poor.
[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. ()
[8] And if they be bound () in fetters, And be holden () in cords of affliction;
[9] Then he sheweth () them their work, And their transgressions that they have exceeded. ()
[10] He openeth () also their ear to discipline, And commandeth () that they return () from iniquity.
[11] If they obey () and serve () him, They shall spend () their days in prosperity, And their years in pleasures.
[12] But if they obey () not, they shall perish () by the sword, And they shall die () without knowledge.
[13] But the hypocrites in heart heap up () wrath: They cry () not when he bindeth () them.
[14] They die () in youth, And their life is among the unclean.
[15] He delivereth () the poor in his affliction, And openeth () their ears in oppression.
[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.
[17] But thou hast fulfilled () the judgment of the wicked: Judgment and justice take hold () on thee.
[18] Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away () with his stroke: Then a great ransom cannot deliver () thee.
[19] Will he esteem () thy riches? no, not gold, Nor all the forces of strength.
[20] Desire () not the night, When people are cut off () in their place.
[21] Take heed, () regard () not iniquity: For this hast thou chosen () rather than affliction.
[22] Behold, God exalteth () by his power: Who teacheth () like him?
[23] Who hath enjoined () him his way? Or who can say, () Thou hast wrought () iniquity?
[24] Remember () that thou magnify () his work, Which men behold. ()
[25] Every man may see () it; Man may behold () it afar off.
[26] Behold, God is great, and we know () him not, Neither can the number of his years be searched out.
[27] For he maketh small () the drops of water: They pour down () rain according to the vapour thereof:
[28] Which the clouds do drop () And distil () upon man abundantly.
[29] Also can any understand () the spreadings of the clouds, Or the noise of his tabernacle?
[30] Behold, he spreadeth () his light upon it, And covereth () the bottom of the sea.
[31] For by them judgeth () he the people; He giveth () meat in abundance. ()
[32] With clouds he covereth () the light; And commandeth () it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt. ()
[33] The noise thereof sheweth () concerning it, The cattle also concerning the vapour. ()

Job 36 (BYZ)

[1] προσθεις δε ελιους ετι λεγει
[2] μεινον με μικρον ετι ινα διδαξω σε ετι γαρ εν εμοι εστιν λεξις
[3] αναλαβων την επιστημην μου μακραν εργοις δε μου δικαια ερω
[4] επ αληθειας και ουκ αδικα ρηματα αδικως συνιεις
[5] γιγνωσκε δε οτι ο κυριος ου μη αποποιησηται τον ακακον δυνατος ισχυι καρδιας
[6] ασεβη ου μη ζωοποιησει και κριμα πτωχων δωσει
[7] ουκ αφελει απο δικαιου οφθαλμους αυτου και μετα βασιλεων εις θρονον και καθιει αυτους εις νεικος και υψωθησονται
[8] και ει πεπεδημενοι εν χειροπεδαις συσχεθησονται εν σχοινιοις πενιας
[9] και αναγγελει αυτοις τα εργα αυτων και τα παραπτωματα αυτων οτι ισχυσουσιν
[10] αλλα του δικαιου εισακουσεται και ειπεν οτι επιστραφησονται εξ αδικιας
[11] εαν ακουσωσιν και δουλευσωσιν συντελεσουσιν τας ημερας αυτων εν αγαθοις και τα ετη αυτων εν ευπρεπειαις
[12] ασεβεις δε ου διασωζει παρα το μη βουλεσθαι ειδεναι αυτους τον κυριον και διοτι νουθετουμενοι ανηκοοι ησαν
[13] και υποκριται καρδια ταξουσιν θυμον ου βοησονται οτι εδησεν αυτους
[14] αποθανοι τοινυν εν νεοτητι η ψυχη αυτων η δε ζωη αυτων τιτρωσκομενη υπο αγγελων
[15] ανθ ων εθλιψαν ασθενη και αδυνατον κριμα δε πραεων εκθησει
[16] και προσετι ηπατησεν σε εκ στοματος εχθρου αβυσσος καταχυσις υποκατω αυτης και κατεβη τραπεζα σου πληρης πιοτητος
[17] ουχ υστερησει δε απο δικαιων κριμα
[18] θυμος δε επ ασεβεις εσται δι ασεβειαν δωρων ων εδεχοντο επ αδικιαις
[19] μη σε εκκλινατω εκων ο νους δεησεως εν αναγκη οντων αδυνατων και παντας τους κραταιουντας ισχυν
[20] μη εξελκυσης την νυκτα του αναβηναι λαους αντ αυτων
[21] αλλα φυλαξαι μη πραξης ατοπα επι τουτον γαρ εξειλω απο πτωχειας
[22] ιδου ο ισχυρος κραταιωσει εν ισχυι αυτου τις γαρ εστιν κατ αυτον δυναστης
[23] τις δε εστιν ο εταζων αυτου τα εργα η τις ο ειπας επραξεν αδικα
[24] μνησθητι οτι μεγαλα εστιν αυτου τα εργα ων ηρξαν ανδρες
[25] πας ανθρωπος ειδεν εν εαυτω οσοι τιτρωσκομενοι εισιν βροτοι
[26] ιδου ο ισχυρος πολυς και ου γνωσομεθα αριθμος ετων αυτου και απεραντος
[27] αριθμηται δε αυτω σταγονες υετου και επιχυθησονται υετω εις νεφελην
[28] ρυησονται παλαιωματα εσκιασεν δε νεφη επι αμυθητων βροτων (36:28Α) ωραν εθετο κτηνεσιν οιδασιν δε κοιτης ταξιν (36:28Β) επι τουτοις πασιν ουκ εξισταται σου η διανοια ουδε διαλλασσεται σου η καρδια απο σωματος
[29] και εαν συνη απεκτασεις νεφελης ισοτητα σκηνης αυτου
[30] ιδου εκτεινει επ αυτον ηδω και ριζωματα της θαλασσης εκαλυψεν
[31] εν γαρ αυτοις κρινει λαους δωσει τροφην τω ισχυοντι
[32] επι χειρων εκαλυψεν φως και ενετειλατο περι αυτης εν απαντωντι
[33] αναγγελει περι αυτου φιλον αυτου κτησις και περι αδικιας
