JOB CHAPTER 36
- Job 36:1 And Elihu addeth and saith: --
- 36:2 Honour me a little, and I shew thee, That yet for God [are] words.
- 36:3 I lift up my knowledge from afar, And to my Maker I ascribe righteousness.
- 36:4 For, truly, my words [are] not false, The perfect in knowledge [is] with thee.
- 36:5 Lo, God [is] mighty, and despiseth not, Mighty [in] power [and] heart.
- 36:6 He reviveth not the wicked, And the judgment of the poor appointeth;
- 36:7 He withdraweth not from the righteous His eyes, And [from] kings on the throne, And causeth them to sit for ever, and they are high,
- 36:8 And if prisoners in fetters They are captured with cords of affliction,
- 36:9 Then He declareth to them their work, And their transgressions, Because they have become mighty,
- Job 36:10 And He uncovereth their ear for instruction, And saith that they turn back from iniquity.
- 36:11 If they do hear and serve, They complete their days in good, And their years in pleasantness.
- 36:12 And if they do not hearken, By the dart they pass away, And expire without knowledge.
- 36:13 And the profane in heart set the face, They cry not when He hath bound them.
- 36:14 Their soul dieth in youth, And their life among the defiled.
- 36:15 He draweth out the afflicted in his affliction, And uncovereth in oppression their ear.
- 36:16 And also He moved thee from a strait place, [To] a broad place -- no straitness under it, And the sitting beyond of thy table Hath been full of fatness.
- 36:17 And the judgment of the wicked thou hast fulfilled, Judgment and justice are upheld -- because of fury,
- 36:18 Lest He move thee with a stroke, And the abundance of an atonement turn thee not aside.
- 36:19 Doth He value thy riches? He hath gold, and all the forces of power.
- Job 36:20 Desire not the night, For the going up of peoples in their stead.
- 36:21 Take heed -- do not turn unto iniquity, For on this thou hast fixed Rather than [on] affliction.
- 36:22 Lo, God doth sit on high by His power, Who [is] like Him -- a teacher?
- 36:23 Who hath appointed unto Him his way? And who said, 'Thou hast done iniquity?'
- 36:24 Remember that thou magnify His work That men have beheld.
- 36:25 All men have looked on it, Man looketh attentively from afar.
- 36:26 Lo, God [is] high, And we know not the number of His years, Yea, there [is] no searching.
- 36:27 When He doth diminish droppings of the waters, They refine rain according to its vapour,
- 36:28 Which clouds do drop, They distil on man abundantly.
- 36:29 Yea, doth [any] understand The spreadings out of a cloud? The noises of His tabernacle?
- Job 36:30 Lo, He hath spread over it His light, And the roots of the sea He hath covered,
- 36:31 For by them He doth judge peoples, He giveth food in abundance.
- 36:32 By two palms He hath covered the light, And layeth a charge over it in meeting,
- 36:33 He sheweth by it [to] his friend substance, Anger against perversity.

JOB CHAPTER 37
- Job 37:1 Also, at this my heart trembleth, And it moveth from its place.
- 37:2 Hearken diligently to the trembling of His voice, Yea, the sound from His mouth goeth forth.
- 37:3 Under the whole heavens He directeth it, And its light [is] over the skirts of the earth.
- 37:4 After it roar doth a voice -- He thundereth with the voice of His excellency, And He doth not hold them back, When His voice is heard.
- 37:5 God thundereth with His voice wonderfully, Doing great things and we know not.
- 37:6 For to snow He saith, 'Be [on] the earth.' And the small rain and great rain of His power.
- 37:7 Into the hand of every man he sealeth, For the knowledge by all men of His work.
- 37:8 And enter doth the beast into covert, And in its habitations it doth continue.
- 37:9 From the inner chamber cometh a hurricane, And from scatterings winds -- cold,
- Job 37:10 From the breath of God is frost given, And the breadth of waters is straitened,
- 37:11 Yea, by filling He doth press out a cloud, Scatter a cloud doth His light.
- 37:12 And it is turning itself round by His counsels, For their doing all He commandeth them, On the face of the habitable earth.
- 37:13 Whether for a rod, or for His land, Or for kindness -- He doth cause it to come.
- 37:14 Hear this, O Job, Stand and consider the wonders of God.
- 37:15 Dost thou know when God doth place them, And caused to shine the light of His cloud?
- 37:16 Dost thou know the balancings of a cloud? The wonders of the Perfect in knowledge?
- 37:17 How thy garments [are] warm, In the quieting of the earth from the south?
- 37:18 Thou hast made an expanse with Him For the clouds -- strong as a hard mirror!
- 37:19 Let us know what we say to Him, We set not in array because of darkness.
- Job 37:20 Is it declared to Him that I speak? If a man hath spoken, surely he is swallowed up.
- 37:21 And now, they have not seen the light, Bright it [is] in the clouds, And the wind hath passed by and cleanseth them.
- 37:22 From the golden north it cometh, Beside God [is] fearful honour.
- 37:23 The Mighty! we have not found Him out, High in power and judgment, He doth not answer! And abundant in righteousness,
- 37:24 Therefore do men fear Him, He seeth not any of the wise of heart.

- 38:4 Where wast thou when I founded earth? Declare, if thou hast known understanding.
- 38:5 Who placed its measures -- if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched out upon it a line?
- 38:6 On what have its sockets been sunk? Or who hath cast its corner-stone?
- 38:7 In the singing together of stars of morning, And all sons of God shout for joy,
- 38:8 And He shutteth up with doors the sea, In its coming forth, from the womb it goeth out.
- 38:9 In My making a cloud its clothing, And thick darkness its swaddling band,
- Job 38:10 And I measure over it My statute, And place bar and doors,
- 38:11 And say, 'Hitherto come thou, and add not, And a command is placed On the pride of thy billows.'
- 38:12 Hast thou commanded morning since thy days? Causest thou the dawn to know its place?
- 38:13 To take hold on the skirts of the earth, And the wicked are shaken out of it,
- 38:14 It turneth itself as clay of a seal And they station themselves as clothed.
- 38:15 And withheld from the wicked is their light, And the arm lifted up is broken.
- 38:16 Hast thou come in to springs of the sea? And in searching the deep Hast thou walked up and down?
- 38:17 Revealed to thee were the gates of death? And the gates of death-shade dost thou see?
- 38:18 Thou hast understanding, Even unto the broad places of earth! Declare -- if thou hast known it all.
- 38:19 Where [is] this -- the way light dwelleth? And darkness, where [is] this -- its place?

- 38:21 Thou hast known -- for then thou art born And the number of thy days [are] many!
- 38:22 Hast thou come in unto the treasure of snow? Yea, the treasures of hail dost thou see?
- 38:23 That I have kept back for a time of distress, For a day of conflict and battle.
- 38:24 Where [is] this, the way light is apportioned? It scattereth an east wind over the earth.
- 38:25 Who hath divided for the flood a conduit? And a way for the lightning of the voices?
- 38:26 To cause [it] to rain on a land -- no man, A wilderness -- no man in it.
- 38:27 To satisfy a desolate and waste place, And to cause to shoot up The produce of the tender grass?
- 38:28 Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
- 38:29 From whose belly came forth the ice? And the hoar-frost of the heavens, Who hath begotten it?
- Job 38:30 As a stone waters are hidden, And the face of the deep is captured.
- 38:31 Dost thou bind sweet influences of Kimah? Or the attractions of Kesil dost thou open?
- 38:32 Dost thou bring out Mazzaroth in its season? And Aysh for her sons dost thou comfort?
- 38:33 Hast thou known the statutes of heaven? Or dost thou appoint Its dominion in the earth?
- 38:34 Dost thou lift up to the cloud thy voice, And abundance of water doth cover thee?
- 38:35 Dost thou send out lightnings, and they go And say unto thee, 'Behold us?'
- 38:36 Who hath put in the inward parts wisdom? Or who hath given To the covered part understanding?
- 38:37 Who doth number the clouds by wisdom? And the bottles of the heavens, Who doth cause to lie down,
- 38:38 In the hardening of dust into hardness, And clods cleave together?
- 38:39 Dost thou hunt for a lion prey? And the desire of young lions fulfil?
- Job 38:40 When they bow down in dens -- Abide in a thicket for a covert?
- 38:41 Who doth prepare for a raven his provision, When his young ones cry unto God? They wander without food.

JOB CHAPTER 39
- Job 39:1 Hast thou known the time of The bearing of the wild goats of the rock? The bringing forth of hinds thou dost mark!
- 39:2 Thou dost number the months they fulfil? And thou hast known the time of their bringing forth!
- 39:3 They bow down, Their young ones they bring forth safely, Their pangs they cast forth.
- 39:4 Safe are their young ones, They grow up in the field, they have gone out, And have not returned to them.
- 39:5 Who hath sent forth the wild ass free? Yea, the bands of the wild ass who opened?

- 39:15 And she forgetteth that a foot may press it, And a beast of the field tread it down.
- 39:16 Her young ones it hath hardened without her, In vain [is] her labour without fear.
- 39:17 For God hath caused her to forget wisdom, And He hath not given a portion To her in understanding:
- 39:18 At the time on high she lifteth herself up, She laugheth at the horse and at his rider.
- 39:19 Dost thou give to the horse might? Dost thou clothe his neck [with] a mane?
- Job 39:20 Dost thou cause him to rush as a locust? The majesty of his snorting [is] terrible.

- 39:28 A rock he doth inhabit, Yea, he lodgeth on the tooth of a rock, and fortress.

- 42:8 And now, take to you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go ye unto My servant Job, and ye have caused a burnt-offering to ascend for you; and Job My servant doth pray for you, for surely his face I accept, so as not to do with you folly, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job.
