Job 36:1 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 Elihu continued talking and said,
2 "Be patient with me a little longer. God has a few more words that he wants me to say.
3 I will share my knowledge with everyone. I will prove that my Maker is right.
4 Job, I am telling the truth. I know what I am talking about.
5 "God is very powerful, but he does not hate people. He is very powerful, but he is also very wise.
6 He will not let evil people live. He brings justice to the poor.
7 He watches over those who live right. He lets them rule in high places.
8 So if people are punished, if they are tied with chains and ropes, they did something wrong.
9 And God will tell them what they did, that they sinned and were proud.
10 He will force them to listen to his warning. He will command them to stop sinning.
11 If they serve and obey him, he will make them successful and they will live a happy life.
12 But if they refuse to obey him, they will be destroyed. They will die like fools.
13 "People who don't care about God are always bitter. Even when he punishes them, they refuse to pray to him for help.
14 They will die while they are still young, like the male prostitutes.
15 God saves those who suffer by using their suffering. He uses their troubles to speak in a way that makes them listen.
16 "In fact, God wants to help you out of your troubles. He wants to take away your burdens that are crushing you. He wants to load your table with plenty of food.
17 But you are full of this talk about guilt, judgment, and justice!
18 Job, don't let your anger fill you with doubt about God. And don't let the price of forgiveness turn you away.
19 Do you think your wealth will keep you out of trouble? Will your great strength be of any help to you now?
20 Don't be like those who wish darkness would come and hide them. They try to disappear into the night.
21 Job, don't let your suffering cause you to choose evil. Be careful not to do wrong.
22 "Look, God's power makes him great! He is the greatest teacher of all.
23 No one can tell him what to do. No one can say, 'God, you have done wrong.'
24 Remember to praise him for what he has done, as many others have done in song.
25 Everyone can see what he has done, even people in faraway countries.
26 Yes, God is great, but we cannot understand his greatness. We don't know how long he has lived.
27 "God takes up water from the earth and changes it into mist and rain.
28 So the clouds pour out the water, and the rain falls on many people.
29 No one can understand how he spreads the clouds out or how the thunder rumbles from his home in the sky.
30 Look, he spreads lightning all over the sky and covers the deepest part of the ocean.
31 He uses them to control the nations and to give them plenty of food.
32 He grabs the lightning with his hands, and commands it to strike where he wants.
33 The thunder warns that a storm is coming. So even the cattle know it is near.
1 Elihu H453 also proceeded, H3254 and said, H559
2 Suffer H3803 me a little, H2191 and I will show H2331 thee that H3588 I have yet H5750 to speak H4405 on God's H433 behalf.
3 I will fetch H5375 my knowledge H1843 from afar H4480 H7350 , and will ascribe H5414 righteousness H6664 to my Maker. H6466
4 For H3588 truly H551 my words H4405 shall not H3808 be false: H8267 he that is perfect H8549 in knowledge H1844 is with H5973 thee.
5 Behold H2005 , God H410 is mighty, H3524 and despiseth H3988 not H3808 any: he is mighty H3524 in strength H3581 and wisdom. H3820
6 He preserveth not the life H2421 H3808 of the wicked: H7563 but giveth H5414 right H4941 to the poor. H6041
7 He withdraweth H1639 not H3808 his eyes H5869 from the righteous H4480 H6662 : but with H854 kings H4428 are they on the throne; H3678 yea , he doth establish H3427 them forever, H5331 and they are exalted. H1361
8 And if H518 they be bound H631 in fetters, H2131 and be holden H3920 in cords H2256 of affliction; H6040
9 Then he showeth H5046 them their work, H6467 and their transgressions H6588 that H3588 they have exceeded. H1396
10 He openeth H1540 also their ear H241 to discipline, H4148 and commandeth H559 that H3588 they return H7725 from iniquity H4480 H205 .
11 If H518 they obey H8085 and serve H5647 him , they shall spend H3615 their days H3117 in prosperity, H2896 and their years H8141 in pleasures. H5273
12 But if H518 they obey H8085 not, H3808 they shall perish H5674 by the sword, H7973 and they shall die H1478 without H1097 knowledge. H1847
13 But the hypocrites H2611 in heart H3820 heap up H7760 wrath: H639 they cry H7768 not H3808 when H3588 he bindeth H631 them.
14 They H5315 die H4191 in youth, H5290 and their life H2416 is among the unclean. H6945
15 He delivereth H2502 the poor H6041 in his affliction, H6040 and openeth H1540 their ears H241 in oppression. H3906
16 Even so H637 would he have removed H5496 thee out of the strait H4480 H6310 H6862 into a broad place, H7338 where H8478 there is no H3808 straitness; H4164 and that which should be set H5183 on thy table H7979 should be full H4390 of fatness. H1880
17 But thou hast fulfilled H4390 the judgment H1779 of the wicked: H7563 judgment H1779 and justice H4941 take hold H8551 on thee .
18 Because H3588 there is wrath, H2534 beware lest H6435 he take thee away H5496 with his stroke: H5607 then a great H7227 ransom H3724 cannot H408 deliver H5186 thee.
19 Will he esteem H6186 thy riches H7769 ? no , not H3808 gold, H1222 nor all H3605 the forces H3981 of strength. H3581
20 Desire H7602 not H408 the night, H3915 when people H5971 are cut off H5927 in their place. H8478
21 Take heed, H8104 regard not H6437 H408 H413 iniquity: H205 for H3588 H5921 this H2088 hast thou chosen H977 rather than affliction H4480. H6040
22 Behold H2005 , God H410 exalteth H7682 by his power: H3581 who H4310 teacheth H3384 like him H3644 ?
23 Who H4310 hath enjoined H6485 H5921 him his way H1870 ? or who H4310 can say, H559 Thou hast wrought H6466 iniquity H5766 ?
24 Remember H2142 that H3588 thou magnify H7679 his work, H6467 which H834 men H376 behold. H7789
25 Every H3605 man H120 may see H2372 it; man H582 may behold H5027 it afar off H4480 H7350 .
26 Behold H2005 , God H410 is great, H7689 and we know H3045 him not H3808 neither H3808 can the number H4557 of his years H8141 be searched out. H2714
27 For H3588 he maketh small H1639 the drops H5198 of water: H4325 they pour down H2212 rain H4306 according to the vapor H108 thereof:
28 Which H834 the clouds H7834 do drop H5140 and distill H7491 upon H5921 man H120 abundantly. H7227
29 Also H637 H518 can any understand H995 the spreadings H4666 of the clouds, H5645 or the noise H8663 of his tabernacle H5521 ?
30 Behold H2005 , he spreadeth H6566 his light H216 upon H5921 it , and covereth H3680 the bottom H8328 of the sea. H3220
31 For H3588 by them judgeth H1777 he the people; H5971 he giveth H5414 meat H400 in abundance. H4342
32 With H5921 clouds H3709 he covereth H3680 the light; H216 and commandeth H6680 it not to shine by H5921 the cloud that cometh between. H6293
33 The noise H7452 thereof showeth H5046 concerning H5921 it , the cattle H4735 also H637 concerning H5921 the vapor. H5927
