Job - douay rheims

Chapter 36

¹ Eliu also proceeded, and said :
² Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee : for I have yet somewhat to speak in God's behalf.
³ I will repeat my knowledge from the beginning, and I will prove my Maker just.
⁴ For indeed my words are without a lie, and perfect knowledge shall be proved to thee.
⁵ God doth not cast away the mighty, whereas he himself also is mighty.
⁶ But he saveth not the wicked, and he giveth judgment to the poor.
⁷ He will not take away his eyes from the just, and he placeth kings on the throne for ever, and they are exalted.
⁸ And if they shall be in chains, and be bound with the cords of poverty :
⁹ He shall shew them their works, and their wicked deeds, because they have been violent.
¹⁰ He also shall open their ear, to correct them : and shall speak, that they may return from iniquity.
¹¹ If they shall hear and observe, they shall accomplish their days in good, and their years in glory.
¹² But if they hear not, they shall pass by the sword, and shall be consumed in folly.
¹³ Dissemblers and crafty men prove the wrath of God, neither shall they cry when they are bound.
¹⁴ Their soul shall die in a storm, and their life among the effeminate.
¹⁵ He shall deliver the poor out of his distress, and shall open his ear in affliction.
¹⁶ Therefore he shall set thee at large out of the narrow mouth, and which hath no foundation under it : and the rest of thy table shall be full of fatness.
¹⁷ Thy cause hath been judged as that of the wicked, cause and judgment thou shalt recover.
¹⁸ Therefore let not anger overcome thee to oppress any man : neither let multitude of gifts turn thee aside.
¹⁹ Lay down thy greatness without tribulation, and all the mighty of strength.
²⁰ Prolong not the night that people may come up for them.
²¹ Beware thou turn not aside to iniquity : for this thou hast begun to follow after misery.
²² Behold, God is high in his strength, and none is like him among the lawgivers.
²³ Who can search out his ways? or who can say to him : Thou has wrought iniquity?
²⁴ Remember that thou knowest not his work, concerning which men have sung.
²⁵ All men see him, every one beholdeth afar off.
²⁶ Behold, God is great, exceeding our knowledge : the number of his years is inestimable.
²⁷ He lifteth up the drops of rain, and poureth out showers like floods :
²⁸ Which flow from the clouds that cover all above.
²⁹ If he will spread out clouds as his tent,
³⁰ And lighten with his light from above, he shall cover also the ends of the sea.
³¹ For by these he judgeth people, and giveth food to many mortals.
³² In his hands he hideth the light, and commandeth it to come again.
³³ He sheweth his friend concerning it, that it is his possession, and that he may come up to it.

Chapter 36

¹ Elihu also proceeded, and said,
² Suffer me a little, and I will show thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf.
³ I will bring 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; yes, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.
⁸ And if they are bound in fetters, and are held in cords of affliction;
⁹ Then he showeth 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 would 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 vapor of it.
²⁸ Which the clouds do drop and distill 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 he judgeth the people; he giveth food in abundance.
³² With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the intervening cloud.
³³ The noise of it showeth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapor.

Chapter 36

¹ And Elihu proceeded and said,
² Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet words for +God.
³ I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Creator.
⁴ For truly my words shall be no falsehood: one perfect in knowledge is with thee.
⁵ Lo, ùGod is mighty, but despiseth not [any]; mighty in strength of understanding:
⁶ He saveth not the wicked alive; but he doeth justice to the afflicted.
⁷ He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne doth he even set them for ever; and they are exalted.
⁸ And if, bound in fetters, they be held in cords of affliction,
⁹ Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions, because they have increased.
¹⁰ And he openeth their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.
¹¹ If they hearken and serve [him], they shall accomplish their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
¹² But if they hearken not, they shall pass away by the sword, and expire without knowledge.
¹³ But the godless in heart heap up anger; they cry not when he bindeth them:
¹⁴ Their soul dieth in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
¹⁵ But he delivereth the afflicted in his affliction, and openeth their ear in [their] oppression.
¹⁶ Even so would he have allured thee out of the jaws of distress into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and the supply of thy table [would be] full of fatness.
¹⁷ But thou art full of the judgments of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold [on thee].
¹⁸ Because there is wrath, [beware] lest it take thee away through chastisement: then a great ransom could not avail thee.
¹⁹ Will he esteem thy riches? Not gold, nor all the resources of strength!
²⁰ Desire not the night, when peoples are cut off from their place.
²¹ Take heed, turn not to iniquity; for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
²² Lo, ùGod is exalted in his power: who teacheth as he?
²³ Who hath appointed him his way? or who hath said, Thou hast wrought unrighteousness?
²⁴ Remember that thou magnify his work, which men celebrate.
²⁵ All men look at it; man beholdeth [it] afar off.
²⁶ Lo, ùGod is great, and we comprehend [him] not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
²⁷ For he draweth up the drops of water: they distil in rain from the vapour which he formeth,
²⁸ Which the skies pour down [and] drop upon man abundantly.
²⁹ But can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, [or] the crashing of his pavilion?
³⁰ Lo, he spreadeth his light around him, and covereth the bottom of the sea.
³¹ For with them he judgeth the peoples; he giveth food in abundance.
³² [His] hands he covereth with lightning, and commandeth it where it is to strike.

Chapter 36

¹ And Elihu went on to say,
² Give me a little more time, and I will make it clear to you; for I have still something to say for God.
³ I will get my knowledge from far, and I will give righteousness to my Maker.
⁴ For truly my words are not false; one who has all knowledge is talking with you.
⁵ Truly, God gives up the hard-hearted, and will not give life to the sinner.
⁶ His eyes are ever on the upright, and he gives to the crushed their right;
⁷ Lifting them up to the seat of kings, and making them safe for ever.
⁸ And if they have been prisoned in chains, and taken in cords of trouble,
⁹ Then he makes clear to them what they have done, even their evil works in which they have taken pride.
¹⁰ Their ear is open to his teaching, and he gives them orders so that their hearts may be turned from evil.
¹¹ If they give ear to his voice, and do his word, then he gives them long life, and years full of pleasure.
¹² But if not, they come to their end, and give up their breath without knowledge.
¹³ Those who have no fear of God keep wrath stored up in their hearts; they give no cry for help when they are made prisoners.
¹⁴ They come to their end while they are still young, their life is short like that of those who are used for sex purposes in the worship of their gods.
¹⁵ He makes the wrong done to the poor the way of their salvation, opening their ears by their trouble.

²¹ Take care not to be turned to sin, for you have taken evil for your part in place of sorrow.
²² Truly God is lifted up in strength; who is a ruler like him?
²³ Who ever gave orders to him, or said to him, You have done wrong?
²⁴ See that you give praise to his work, about which men make songs.
²⁵ All people are looking on it; man sees it from far.
²⁶ Truly, God is great, greater than all our knowledge; the number of his years may not be searched out.
²⁷ For he takes up the drops from the sea; he sends them through his mist as rain,
²⁸ Flowing down from the sky, and dropping on the peoples.
²⁹ And who has knowledge of how the clouds are stretched out, or of the thunders of his tent?
³⁰ See, he is stretching out his mist, covering the tops of the mountains with it.
³¹ For by these he gives food to the peoples, and bread in full measure.
³² He takes the light in his hands, sending it against the mark.
³³ The thunder makes clear his passion, and the storm gives news of his wrath.
