Job 36:1-16

36Elihu continued and said: 2“Bear with me a little, and I will show you, for I have yet something to say on God’s behalf. 3I will bring my knowledge from far away, and ascribe righteousness to my Maker. 4For truly my words are not false; one who is perfect in knowledge is with you.

5“Surely God is mighty and does not despise any; he is mighty in strength of understanding. 6He does not keep the wicked alive, but gives the afflicted their right. 7He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne he sets them forever, and they are exalted. 8And if they are bound in fetters and caught in the cords of affliction, 9then he declares to them their work and their transgressions, that they are behaving arrogantly. 10He opens their ears to instruction, and commands that they return from iniquity. 11If they listen, and serve him, they complete their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasantness. 12But if they do not listen, they shall perish by the sword, and die without knowledge. 13“The godless in heart cherish anger; they do not cry for help when he binds them. 14They die in their youth, and their life ends in shame.

15He delivers the afflicted by their affliction, and opens their ear by adversity. 16He also allured you out of distress into a broad place where there was no constraint, and what was set on your table was full of fatness.
