Job. Chapter 36. And Elihu adds and says: “Honor me a little, and I show you, || That yet for God are words. I lift up my knowledge from afar, || And I ascribe righteousness to my Maker. For my words are truly not false, || The perfect in knowledge is with you. Behold, God is mighty, and does not despise, || Mighty in power and heart. He does not revive the wicked, || And appoints the judgment of the poor; He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous, || And from kings on the throne, || And causes them to sit forever, and they are high, And if prisoners in chains || They are captured with cords of affliction, Then He declares to them their work, || And their transgressions, || Because they have become mighty, And He uncovers their ear for instruction, || And commands that they turn back from iniquity. If they hear and serve, || They complete their days in good, || And their years in pleasantness. And if they do not listen, || They pass away by the dart, || And expire without knowledge. And the profane in heart set the face, || They do not cry when He has bound them. Their soul dies in youth, || And their life among the defiled. He draws out the afflicted in his affliction, || And uncovers their ear in oppression. And He also moved you from a narrow place || To a broad place—no constriction under it, || And the sitting beyond of your table has been full of fatness. And you have fulfilled the judgment of the wicked, || Judgment and justice are upheld because of fury, Lest He move you with a stroke, || And the abundance of an atonement not turn you aside. Does He value your riches? He has gold, and all the forces of power. Do not desire the night, || For the going up of peoples in their stead. Take heed—do not turn to iniquity, || For you have fixed on this || Rather than on affliction. Behold, God sits on high by His power, || Who is like Him—a teacher? Who has appointed to Him His way? And who said, You have done iniquity? Remember that you magnify His work || That men have beheld. All men have looked on it, || Man looks attentively from afar. Behold, God is high, || And we do not know the number of His years, || Indeed, there is no searching. When He diminishes droppings of the waters, || They refine rain according to its vapor, Which clouds drop, || They distill on man abundantly. Indeed, do any understand || The spreadings out of a cloud? The noises of His dwelling place? Behold, He has spread His light over it, || And He has covered the roots of the sea, For He judges peoples by them, || He gives food in abundance. By two palms He has covered the light, || And lays a charge over it in meeting, His shout shows it, || The livestock also, the rising storm.”
