36:1
addens quoque Heliu haec locutus est

36:2
sustine me paululum et indicabo tibi adhuc enim habeo quodpro Deo loquar

36:3
repetam scientiam meam a principio et operatorem meumprobabo iustum

36:4
vere enim absque mendacio sermones mei et perfecta scientiaprobabitur tibi

36:5
Deus potentes non abicit cum et ipse sit potens

36:6
sed non salvat impios et iudicium pauperibus tribuit

36:7
non aufert a iusto oculos suos et reges in solio conlocatin perpetuum et illi eriguntur

36:8
et si fuerint in catenis et vinciantur funibus paupertatis

36:9
indicabit eis opera eorum et scelera eorum quia violentifuerint

36:10
revelabit quoque aurem eorum ut corripiat et loquetur utrevertantur ab iniquitate

36:11
si audierint et observaverint conplebunt dies suos in bonoet annos suos in gloria

36:12
si autem non audierint transibunt per gladium etconsumentur in stultitia

36:13
simulatores et callidi provocant iram Dei neque clamabuntcum vincti fuerint

36:14
morietur in tempestate anima eorum et vita eorum intereffeminatos

36:15
eripiet pauperem de angustia sua et revelabit intribulatione aurem eius

36:16
igitur salvabit te de ore angusto latissime et nonhabentis fundamentum subter se requies autem mensae tuae eritplena pinguedine

36:17
causa tua quasi impii iudicata est causam iudiciumquerecipies

36:18
non te ergo superet ira ut aliquem opprimas nec multitudodonorum inclinet te

36:19

si voluerit extendere nubes quasi tentorium suum

36:30

036:001
Elihu also proceeded, and said,

036:002
Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf.

036:003
I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

036:004
For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.

036:005
Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.

036:006
He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.

036:007
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.

036:008
And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;

036:009
Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.

036:010
He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.

036:011
If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.

036:012
But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.

036:013
But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.

036:014
They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.

036:015
He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.

036:016
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.

036:017
But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.

036:018
Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.

036:019
Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.

036:020
Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.

036:021
Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.

036:022
Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?

036:023
Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?

036:024
Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.

036:025
Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.

036:026
Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.

036:027
For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:

036:028
Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.

036:029
Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?

036:030
Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.

036:031
For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.

036:032
With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.

036:033
The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.
