Elihu Extols God's Greatness
|
||||
|
||||
# Chapter 36
|
||||
1. And Elihu continued, and said:
|
||||
|
||||
2. "Bear with me a little, and I will show you,
|
||||
for I have yet something to say on God's behalf.
|
||||
|
||||
3. I will get my knowledge from afar
|
||||
and 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 does not despise any;
|
||||
he is mighty in strength of understanding.
|
||||
|
||||
6. He does not keep the wicked alive,
|
||||
but gives the afflicted their right.
|
||||
|
||||
7. He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous,
|
||||
but with kings on the throne
|
||||
he sets them forever, and they are exalted.
|
||||
|
||||
8. And if they are bound in chains
|
||||
and caught in the cords of affliction,
|
||||
|
||||
9. then he declares to them their work
|
||||
and their transgressions, that they are behaving arrogantly.
|
||||
|
||||
10. He opens their ears to instruction
|
||||
and commands that they return from iniquity.
|
||||
|
||||
11. If they listen and serve him,
|
||||
they complete their days in prosperity,
|
||||
and their years in pleasantness.
|
||||
|
||||
12. But if they do not listen, they perish by the sword
|
||||
and die without knowledge.
|
||||
|
||||
13. "The godless in heart cherish anger;
|
||||
they do not cry for help when he binds them.
|
||||
|
||||
14. They die in youth,
|
||||
and their life ends among the cult prostitutes.
|
||||
|
||||
15. He delivers the afflicted by their affliction
|
||||
and opens their ear by adversity.
|
||||
|
||||
16. He also allured you out of distress
|
||||
into a broad place where there was no cramping,
|
||||
and what was set on your table was full of fatness.
|
||||
|
||||
17. "But you are full of the judgment on the wicked;
|
||||
judgment and justice seize you.
|
||||
|
||||
18. Beware lest wrath entice you into scoffing,
|
||||
and let not the greatness of the ransom turn you aside.
|
||||
|
||||
19. Will your cry for help avail to keep you from distress,
|
||||
or all the force of your strength?
|
||||
|
||||
20. Do not long for the night,
|
||||
when peoples vanish in their place.
|
||||
|
||||
21. Take care; do not turn to iniquity,
|
||||
for this you have chosen rather than affliction.
|
||||
|
||||
22. Behold, God is exalted in his power;
|
||||
who is a teacher like him?
|
||||
|
||||
23. Who has prescribed for him his way,
|
||||
or who can say, 'You have done wrong'?
|
||||
|
||||
24. "Remember to extol his work,
|
||||
of which men have sung.
|
||||
|
||||
25. All mankind has looked on it;
|
||||
man beholds it from afar.
|
||||
|
||||
26. Behold, God is great, and we know him not;
|
||||
the number of his years is unsearchable.
|
||||
|
||||
27. For he draws up the drops of water;
|
||||
they distill his mist in rain,
|
||||
|
||||
28. which the skies pour down
|
||||
and drop on mankind abundantly.
|
||||
|
||||
29. Can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds,
|
||||
the thunderings of his pavilion?
|
||||
|
||||
30. Behold, he scatters his lightning about him
|
||||
and covers the roots of the sea.
|
||||
|
||||
31. For by these he judges peoples;
|
||||
he gives food in abundance.
|
||||
|
||||
32. He covers his hands with the lightning
|
||||
and commands it to strike the mark.
|
||||
|
||||
33. Its crashing declares his presence;
|
||||
the cattle also declare that he rises.
