Job 36:2

³ Having fetched my knowledge from afar,

Job 36:3

⁴ I will speak just things truly,

Job 36:4

⁵ But know that the Lord will not cast off an innocent man:

Job 36:5

⁶ He will not by any means save alive the ungodly:

Job 36:6

⁷ He will not turn away his eyes from the righteous,

Job 36:7

⁸ But they that are bound in fetters

Job 36:8

⁹ And he shall recount to them their works,

Job 36:9

¹⁰ But he will hearken to the righteous:

Job 36:10

¹¹ If they should hear and serve [him],

Job 36:11

¹² But he preserves not the ungodly; because they are not willing to know the Lord,

Job 36:12

¹³ And the hypocrites in heart will array wrath [against themselves];

Job 36:13

¹⁴ Therefore let their soul die in youth,

Job 36:14

¹⁵ Because they afflicted the weak and helpless:

Job 36:15

¹⁶ And he has also enticed thee out of the mouth of the enemy:

Job 36:16

¹⁷ [There is] a deep gulf [and] a rushing stream beneath it,

Job 36:17

¹⁸ But there shall be wrath upon the ungodly,

Job 36:18

¹⁹ Let not [thy] mind willingly turn thee aside

Job 36:19

²⁰ And draw not forth all the mighty [men] by night,

Job 36:20

²¹ But take heed lest thou do that which is wrong:

Job 36:21

²² Behold, the Mighty One shall prevail by his strength:

Job 36:22

²³ And who is he that examines his works?

Job 36:23

²⁴ Remember that his works are great

Job 36:24

²⁵ Every man has seen in himself,

Job 36:25

²⁶ Behold, the Mighty One is great, and we shall not know [him]:

Job 36:26

²⁷ And the drops of rain are numbered by him,

Job 36:27

²⁸ The ancient [heavens] shall flow,

Job 36:28

²⁸ a He has fixed a time to cattle,

Job 36:28

²⁸ b [Yet] by all these things thy understanding is not astonished,

Job 36:28

²⁹ And though one should understand the outspreadings of the clouds,

Job 36:29

³⁰ Behold he will stretch his bow against him,

Job 36:30

³¹ For by them he will judge the nations:

Job 36:31

³² He has hidden the light in [his] hands,

Job 36:32

³³ The Lord will declare concerning this [to] his friend:

Job 36:33
