Job 36
1599 Geneva Bible
36 1 Elihu showeth the power of God. 6 And his justice. 9 And wherefore he punisheth. 13 The property of the wicked.
1 Elihu also proceeded and said,
2 Suffer me a little and I will instruct thee: for I have yet to speak on God’s behalf.
3 I will fetch [a]my knowledge afar off, and will attribute righteousness unto my maker.
4 For truly my words shall not be false, and he that is [b]perfect in knowledge, speaketh with thee.
5 Behold, the mighty God casteth away none that is [c]mighty and valiant of courage.
6 He [d]maintaineth not the wicked, but he giveth judgment to the afflicted.
7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous, but they are with [e]kings in the throne, where he placeth them forever: thus they are exalted.
8 And if they be bound in fetters and tied with the cords of affliction,
9 Then will he show them their [f]work and their sins, because they have been proud.
10 He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth them that they return from iniquity.
11 (A)If they obey and serve him, they shall end their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures:
12 But if they will not obey, they shall pass by the sword and perish [g]without knowledge.
13 But the hypocrites [h]of heart increase the wrath: for they [i]call not when he bindeth them.
14 Their soul dieth in [j]youth, and their life among the whoremongers.
15 He delivereth the poor in his afflictions, and openeth their ear in trouble.
16 Even so would he have taken thee out of the straight place into a broad place, and not shut up beneath: and [k]that which resteth upon thy table had been full of fat.
17 But thou art full of the [l]judgment of the wicked, though judgment and equity maintain all things.
18 [m]For God’s wrath is, lest he should take thee away in thine abundance: for no multitude of gifts can deliver thee.
19 Will he regard thy riches? he regardeth not gold, nor all them that excel in strength.
20 [n]Be not careful in the night, how he destroyeth the people out of their place.
21 Take thou heed: look not to [o]iniquity: for thou hast chosen it rather than affliction.
22 Behold, God exalteth by his power: what teacher is like him?
23 Who hath appointed to him his way? or who can say, Thou hast done wickedly?
24 Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
25 All men see it, and men behold it [p]afar off.
26 Behold, God is excellent, [q]and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
27 When he restraineth the drops of water, the rain [r]poureth down by the vapor thereof,
28 Which rain the clouds do drop and let fall abundantly upon man.
29 Who can know the divisions of the clouds, and the thunders of his [s]Tabernacle?
30 Behold, he spreadeth his light upon [t]it, and covereth the [u]bottom of the sea.
31 For thereby he judgeth [v]the people, and giveth meat abundantly.
32 He covereth the light with the clouds, and commanded them to go [w]against it.
33 [x]His companion showeth him therefore, and there is anger in rising up.

Jó 36
Almeida Revista e Corrigida 2009
Eliú justifica a Deus e diz a Jó que o seu pecado estorva a bênção dele
36 Prosseguiu ainda Eliú e disse: 2 Espera-me um pouco, e mostrar-te-ei que ainda há razões a favor de Deus. 3 Desde longe repetirei a minha opinião; e ao meu Criador atribuirei a justiça. 4 Porque, na verdade, as minhas palavras não serão falsas; contigo está um que é sincero na sua opinião.
5 Eis que Deus é mui grande; contudo, a ninguém despreza; grande é em força de coração. 6 Não deixa viver ao ímpio e faz justiça aos aflitos. 7 Dos justos não tira os seus olhos; antes, com os reis no trono os assenta para sempre, e assim são exaltados. 8 E, se estão presos em grilhões e amarrados com cordas de aflição, 9 então, lhes faz saber a obra deles e as suas transgressões; porquanto prevaleceram nelas. 10 E revela isso aos seus ouvidos, para seu ensino, e lhes diz que se convertam da maldade. 11 Se o ouvirem e o servirem, acabarão seus dias em bem e os seus anos, em delícias. 12 Porém, se o não ouvirem, à espada serão passados e expirarão sem conhecimento. 13 E os hipócritas de coração amontoam para si a ira; e amarrando-os ele, não clamam por socorro. 14 Eles morrem na mocidade, e a sua vida perece entre os sodomitas. 15 Ao aflito livra da sua aflição e, na opressão, se revela aos seus ouvidos.
16 Assim também te desviará da angústia para um lugar espaçoso, em que não há aperto, e as iguarias da tua mesa serão cheias de gordura. 17 Mas tu estás cheio do juízo do ímpio; o juízo e a justiça te alcançam. 18 Porquanto há furor, guarda-te de que, porventura, não sejas levado pela tua suficiência, nem te desvie a grandeza do resgate. 19 Estimaria ele tanto tuas riquezas, ou todos os esforços da tua força, que por isso não estivesses em aperto? 20 Não suspires pela noite, em que os povos sejam tomados do seu lugar. 21 Guarda-te e não te inclines para a iniquidade; porquanto isto escolheste antes que a tua miséria. 22 Eis que Deus exalta com a sua força; quem ensina como ele? 23 Quem lhe pedirá conta do seu caminho, ou quem lhe disse: Tu cometeste maldade?
24 Lembra-te de engrandecer a sua obra que os homens contemplam. 25 Todos os homens a veem, e o homem a enxerga de longe. 26 Eis que Deus é grande, e nós o não compreendemos, e o número dos seus anos não se pode calcular. 27 Porque reúne as gotas das águas que derrama em chuva do seu vapor, 28 a qual as nuvens destilam e gotejam sobre o homem abundantemente. 29 Porventura, também se poderão entender a extensão das nuvens e os trovões da sua tenda? 30 Eis que estende sobre elas a sua luz e encobre os altos do mar. 31 Porque por estas coisas julga os povos e lhes dá mantimento em abundância. 32 Com as mãos encobre a luz e a proíbe de passar por entre elas. 33 O que nos dá a entender o seu pensamento, como também aos gados, acerca do temporal que sobe.

36 Elihu continued:
2 “Bear with me a little longer and I will show you
that there is more to be said in God’s behalf.
3 I get my knowledge from afar;(A)
I will ascribe justice to my Maker.(B)
4 Be assured that my words are not false;(C)
one who has perfect knowledge(D) is with you.(E)
5 “God is mighty,(F) but despises no one;(G)
he is mighty, and firm in his purpose.(H)
6 He does not keep the wicked alive(I)
but gives the afflicted their rights.(J)
7 He does not take his eyes off the righteous;(K)
he enthrones them with kings(L)
and exalts them forever.(M)
8 But if people are bound in chains,(N)
held fast by cords of affliction,(O)
9 he tells them what they have done—
that they have sinned arrogantly.(P)
10 He makes them listen(Q) to correction(R)
and commands them to repent of their evil.(S)
11 If they obey and serve him,(T)
they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity(U)
and their years in contentment.(V)
12 But if they do not listen,
they will perish by the sword[a](W)
and die without knowledge.(X)
13 “The godless in heart(Y) harbor resentment;(Z)
even when he fetters them, they do not cry for help.(AA)
14 They die in their youth,(AB)
among male prostitutes of the shrines.(AC)
15 But those who suffer(AD) he delivers in their suffering;(AE)
he speaks(AF) to them in their affliction.(AG)
16 “He is wooing(AH) you from the jaws of distress
to a spacious place(AI) free from restriction,(AJ)
to the comfort of your table(AK) laden with choice food.(AL)
17 But now you are laden with the judgment due the wicked;(AM)
judgment and justice have taken hold of you.(AN)
18 Be careful that no one entices you by riches;
do not let a large bribe(AO) turn you aside.(AP)
19 Would your wealth(AQ) or even all your mighty efforts
sustain you so you would not be in distress?
20 Do not long for the night,(AR)
to drag people away from their homes.[b]
21 Beware of turning to evil,(AS)
which you seem to prefer to affliction.(AT)
22 “God is exalted in his power.(AU)
Who is a teacher like him?(AV)
23 Who has prescribed his ways(AW) for him,(AX)
or said to him, ‘You have done wrong’?(AY)
24 Remember to extol his work,(AZ)
which people have praised in song.(BA)
25 All humanity has seen it;(BB)
mortals gaze on it from afar.
26 How great is God—beyond our understanding!(BC)
The number of his years is past finding out.(BD)
27 “He draws up the drops of water,(BE)
which distill as rain to the streams[c];(BF)
28 the clouds pour down their moisture
and abundant showers(BG) fall on mankind.(BH)
29 Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds,
how he thunders(BI) from his pavilion?(BJ)
30 See how he scatters his lightning(BK) about him,
bathing the depths of the sea.(BL)
31 This is the way he governs[d] the nations(BM)
and provides food(BN) in abundance.(BO)
32 He fills his hands with lightning
and commands it to strike its mark.(BP)
33 His thunder announces the coming storm;(BQ)
even the cattle make known its approach.[e](BR)

36 Elihu also proceeded, and said,
2 Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf.
3 I will fetch 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; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.
8 And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;
9 Then he sheweth 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 should 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 vapour thereof:
28 Which the clouds do drop and distil 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 judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.
32 With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.
33 The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.

Elihu Proclaims God’s Goodness
36 Elihu also proceeded and said:
2 “Bear with me a little, and I will show you
That there are yet words to speak on God’s behalf.
3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar;
I will 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, but despises no one;
(A)He is mighty in strength [a]of understanding.
6 He does not preserve the life of the wicked,
But gives justice to the (B)oppressed.
7 (C)He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous;
But (D)they are on the throne with kings,
For He has seated them forever,
And they are exalted.
8 And (E)if they are bound in [b]fetters,
Held in the cords of affliction,
9 Then He tells them their work and their transgressions—
That they have acted [c]defiantly.
10 (F)He also opens their ear to [d]instruction,
And commands that they turn from iniquity.
11 If they obey and serve Him,
They shall (G)spend their days in prosperity,
And their years in pleasures.
12 But if they do not obey,
They shall perish by the sword,
And they shall die [e]without (H)knowledge.
13 “But the hypocrites in heart (I)store up wrath;
They do not cry for help when He binds them.
14 (J)They[f] die in youth,
And their life ends among the [g]perverted persons.
15 He delivers the poor in their affliction,
And opens their ears in oppression.
16 “Indeed He would have brought you out of dire distress,
(K)Into a broad place where there is no restraint;
And (L)what is set on your table would be full of (M)richness.
17 But you are filled with the judgment due the (N)wicked;
Judgment and justice take hold of you.
18 Because there is wrath, beware lest He take you away with one blow;
For (O)a large ransom would not help you avoid it.
19 (P)Will your riches,
Or all the mighty forces,
Keep you from distress?
20 Do not desire the night,
When people are cut off in their place.
21 Take heed, (Q)do not turn to iniquity,
For (R)you have chosen this rather than affliction.
22 “Behold, God is exalted by His power;
Who teaches like Him?
23 (S)Who has assigned Him His way,
Or who has said, ‘You have done (T)wrong’?
Elihu Proclaims God’s Majesty
24 “Remember to (U)magnify His work,
Of which men have sung.
25 Everyone has seen it;
Man looks on it from afar.
26 “Behold, God is great, and we (V)do not know Him;
(W)Nor can the number of His years be discovered.
27 For He (X)draws up drops of water,
Which distill as rain from the mist,
28 (Y)Which the clouds drop down
And pour abundantly on man.
29 Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of clouds,
The thunder from His canopy?
30 Look, He (Z)scatters His light upon it,
And covers the depths of the sea.
31 For (AA)by these He judges the peoples;
He (AB)gives food in abundance.
32 (AC)He covers His hands with lightning,
And commands it to [h]strike.
33 (AD)His thunder declares it,
The cattle also, concerning [i]the rising storm.
