Chapter 36
-
Elihu continued speaking:
-
"Let me go on, and I will show you the truth. For I have not finished defending God!
-
I will present profound arguments for the righteousness of my Creator.
-
I am telling you nothing but the truth, for I am a man of great knowledge.
-
"God is mighty, but he does not despise anyone! He is mighty in both power and understanding.
-
He does not let the wicked live but gives justice to the afflicted.
-
He never takes his eyes off the innocent, but he sets them on thrones with kings and exalts them forever.
-
If they are bound in chains and caught up in a web of trouble,
-
he shows them the reason. He shows them their sins of pride.
-
He gets their attention and commands that they turn from evil.
-
"If they listen and obey God, they will be blessed with prosperity throughout their lives. All their years will be pleasant.
-
But if they refuse to listen to him, they will cross over the river of death, dying from lack of understanding.
-
For the godless are full of resentment. Even when he punishes them, they refuse to cry out to him for help.
-
They die when they are young, after wasting their lives in immoral living.
-
But by means of their suffering, he rescues those who suffer. For he gets their attention through adversity.
-
"God is leading you away from danger, Job, to a place free from distress. He is setting your table with the best food.
-
But you are obsessed with whether the godless will be judged. Don't worry, judgment and justice will be upheld.
-
But watch out, or you may be seduced by wealth. Don't let yourself be bribed into sin.
-
Could all your wealth or all your mighty efforts keep you from distress?
-
Do not long for the cover of night, for that is when people will be destroyed.
-
Be on guard! Turn back from evil, for God sent this suffering to keep you from a life of evil.Elihu Reminds Job of God's Power
-
"Look, God is all-powerful. Who is a teacher like him?
-
No one can tell him what to do, or say to him, 'You have done wrong.'
-
Instead, glorify his mighty works, singing songs of praise.
-
Everyone has seen these things, though only from a distance.
-
"Look, God is greater than we can understand. His years cannot be counted.
-
He draws up the water vapor and then distills it into rain.
-
The rain pours down from the clouds, and everyone benefits.
-
Who can understand the spreading of the clouds and the thunder that rolls forth from heaven?
-
See how he spreads the lightning around him and how it lights up the depths of the sea.
-
By these mighty acts he nourishes the people, giving them food in abundance.
-
He fills his hands with lightning bolts and hurls each at its target.
-
The thunder announces his presence; the storm announces his indignant anger.
