Job, Chapter 32

1 Then these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes. 2 But the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram burned; against Job his anger burned because he justified himselfa Or more thanbefore God. 3 And his anger burned against his three friends because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job. 4 Now Elihu had waitedb Lit for Job with words; or possibly while they were speaking with Jobto speak to Job because they were years older than he. 5 And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men his anger burned.
6 So Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzitec Lit answeredspoke out and said,“I am young in years and you are old;
Therefore I was shy and afraid to tell youd Lit my knowledgewhat I think.
7“Ie Lit saidthoughtf Lit daysage should speak,
Andg Lit manyincreased years should teach wisdom.
8“But it is a spirit in man,
And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.
9“Theh Or noblesabundant in years may not be wise,
Nor may elders understand justice.
10“So Ii Or saidsay, ‘Listen to me,
I too will tellj Lit my knowledgewhat I think.’
11 
“Behold, I waited for your words,
I listened to your reasonings,
While youk Lit searched out wordspondered what to say.
12 
“I even paid close attention to you;
l Lit BeholdIndeed, there was no one who refuted Job,
Not one of you who answered his words.
13 
“Do not say,
‘We have found wisdom;
God willm Lit drive awayrout him, not man.’
14 
“For he has not arranged his words against me,
Nor will I reply to him with yourn Lit wordsarguments.
15 
“They are dismayed, they no longer answer;
Words haveo Lit moved away fromfailed them.
16 
“Shall I wait, because they do not speak,
Because theyp Lit standstop and no longer answer?
17 
“I too will answer my share,
I also will tell my opinion.
18 
“For I am full of words;
The spirit within me constrains me.
19 
“Behold, my belly is like unvented wine,
Like new wineskins it is about to burst.
20 
“Let me speak that I may get relief;
Let me open my lips and answer.
21 
“Let me now be partial to no one,
Nor flatter any man.
22 
“For I do not know how to flatter,
Else my Maker would soon take me away.

Job, Chapter 33

1 
“However now, Job, please hear my speech,
And listen to all my words.
2 
“Behold now, I open my mouth,
My tongue in mya Lit palatemouth speaks.
3 
“My words are from the uprightness of my heart,
And my lips speak knowledge sincerely.
4 
“The Spirit of God has made me,
And the breath ofb Heb Shaddaithe Almighty gives me life.
5 
“Refute me if you can;
Array yourselves before me, take your stand.
6 
“Behold, I belong to God like you;
I too have beenc Lit cut out offormed out of the clay.
7 
“Behold, no fear of me should terrify you,
Nor should my pressure weigh heavily on you.
8 
“Surely you have spoken in my hearing,
And I have heard the sound of your words:
9 
‘I am pure, without transgression;
I am innocent and there is no guilt in me.
10 
‘Behold, Hed Lit findsinvents pretexts against me;
He counts me as His enemy.
11 
‘He puts my feet in the stocks;
He watches all my paths.’
12 
“Behold, let mee Lit answertell you, you are not right in this,
For God is greater than man.
13 
“Why do you complain against Him
That He does not give an account of all His doings?
14 
“Indeed God speaks once,
Or twice, yet no one notices it.
15 
“In a dream, a vision of the night,
When sound sleep falls on men,
While they slumber in their beds,
16 
Then He opens the ears of men,
And seals their instruction,
17 
That He may turn man aside from his conduct,
Andf Lit hidekeep man from pride;
18 
He keeps back his soul from the pit,
And his life fromg M.T. perishing by the swordpassing over into Sheol.
19 
“h Lit HeMan is also chastened with pain on his bed,
And with unceasing complaint in his bones;
20 
So that his life loathes bread,
And his soul favorite food.
21 
“His flesh wastes away from sight,
And his bones which were not seen stick out.
22 
“Then his soul draws near to the pit,
And his life to those who bring death.
23 
“If there is an angel as mediator for him,
One out of a thousand,
To remind a man what isi Lit his uprightnessright for him,
24 
Then let him be gracious to him, and say,
‘Deliver him from going down to the pit,
I have found a ransom’;
25 
Let his flesh become fresher than in youth,
Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor;
26 
Then he will pray to God, and He will accept him,
That he may see His face with joy,
And He may restore His righteousness to man.
27 
“He will sing to men and say,
‘I have sinned and perverted what is right,
And it is not proper for me.
28 
‘He has redeemed my soul from going to the pit,
And my life shall see the light.’
29 
“Behold, God does all thesej Lit twice, three timesoftentimes with men,
30 
To bring back his soul from the pit,
That he may be enlightened with the light of life.
31 
“Pay attention, O Job, listen to me;
Keep silent, and let me speak.
32 
“Then ifk Lit there are wordsyou have anything to say, answer me;
Speak, for I desire to justify you.
33 
“If not, listen to me;
Keep silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”

Job, Chapter 34

1 Then Elihu continued and said,
2 
“Hear my words, you wise men,
And listen to me, you who know.
3 
“For the ear tests words
As the palate tastes food.
4 
“Let us choose for ourselves what is right;
Let us know among ourselves what is good.
5 
“For Job has said, ‘I am righteous,
But God has taken away my right;
6 
a Or Although I am right I am accounted a liarShould I lie concerning my right?
Myb Lit arrowwound is incurable, though I am without transgression.’
7 
“What man is like Job,
Who drinks up derision like water,
8 
Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity,
And walks with wicked men?
9 
“For he has said, ‘It profits a man nothing
When hec Or takes delight in Godis pleased with God.’
10 
“Therefore, listen to me, you men of understanding.
Far be it from God to do wickedness,
And from the Almighty to do wrong.
11 
“For He pays a man according to his work,
And makesd Lit a manhim find it according to his way.
12 
“Surely, God will not act wickedly,
And the Almighty will not pervert justice.
13 
“Who gave Him authority over the earth?
And who has laid on Him the whole world?
14 
“If He shoulde Lit set His mind on Himselfdetermine to do so,
If He should gather to Himself His spirit and His breath,
15 
All flesh would perish together,
And man would return to dust.
16 
“But if you have understanding, hear this;
Listen to the sound of my words.
17 
“Shall one who hates justice rule?
And will you condemn the righteous mighty One,
18 
Who says to a king, ‘Worthless one,’
To nobles, ‘Wicked ones’;
19 
Who shows no partiality to princes
Nor regards the rich above the poor,
For they all are the work of His hands?
20 
“In a moment they die, and at midnight
People are shaken and pass away,
And the mighty are taken away without a hand.
21 
“For His eyes are upon the ways of a man,
And He sees all his steps.
22 
“There is no darkness or deep shadow
Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
23 
“For He does not need to consider a man further,
That he should go before God in judgment.
24 
“He breaks in pieces mighty men without inquiry,
And sets others in their place.
25 
“Therefore He knows their works,
And He overthrows them in the night,
And they are crushed.
26 
“He strikes them like the wicked
f Lit In the place of the ones seeingIn a public place,
27 
Because they turned aside from following Him,
And had no regard for any of His ways;
28 
So that they caused the cry of the poor to come to Him,
And that He might hear the cry of the afflicted—
29 
When He keeps quiet, who then can condemn?
And when He hides His face, who then can behold Him,
That is, in regard to both nation and man?—
30 
So that godless men would not rule
Nor be snares of the people.
31 
“For has anyone said to God,
‘I have borne chastisement;
I will not offend anymore;
32 
Teach me what I do not see;
If I have done iniquity,
I will not do it again’?
33 
“Shall He recompense on your terms, because you have rejected it?
For you must choose, and not I;
Therefore declare what you know.
34 
“Men of understanding will say to me,
And a wise man who hears me,
35 
‘Job speaks without knowledge,
And his words are without wisdom.
36 
‘Job ought to be triedg Or to the endto the limit,
Because he answers like wicked men.
37 
‘For he adds rebellion to his sin;
He claps his hands among us,
And multiplies his words against God.’”

Job, Chapter 35

1 Then Elihu continued and said,
2 
“Do you think this is according to justice?
Do you say, ‘My righteousness is more than God’s’?
3 
“For you say, ‘What advantage will it be toa Or youYou?
What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?’
4 
“I will answer you,
And your friends with you.
5 
“Look at the heavens and see;
And behold the clouds—they are higher than you.
6 
“If you have sinned, what do you accomplish against Him?
And if your transgressions are many, what do you do to Him?
7 
“If you are righteous, what do you give to Him,
Or what does He receive from your hand?
8 
“Your wickedness is for a man like yourself,
And your righteousness is for a son of man.
9 
“Because of the multitude of oppressions they cry out;
They cry for help because of the arm of the mighty.
10 
“But no one says, ‘Where is God my Maker,
Who gives songs in the night,
11 
Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth
And makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’
12 
“There they cry out, but He does not answer
Because of the pride of evil men.
13 
“Surely God will not listen tob Or falsehoodan empty cry,
Nor will the Almighty regard it.
14 
“How much less when you say you do not behold Him,
The case is before Him, and you must wait for Him!
15 
“And now, because He has not visited in His anger,
Nor has He acknowledgedc Or arrogancetransgression well,
16 
So Job opens his mouthd Lit vainlyemptily;
He multiplies words without knowledge.”

Job, Chapter 36

1 Then Elihu continued and said,
2 
“Wait for me a little, and I will show you
That therea Lit are yet words for Godis yet more to be said in God’s behalf.
3 
“I will fetch my knowledge from afar,
And 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 does not despise any;
He is mighty in strength of understanding.
6 
“He does not keep the wicked alive,
But gives justice to the afflicted.
7 
“He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous;
But with kings on the throne
He has seated them forever, and they are exalted.
8 
“And if they are bound in fetters,
And are caught in the cords of affliction,
9 
Then He declares to them their work
And their transgressions, that they have magnified themselves.
10 
“He opens their ear to instruction,
And commands that they return from evil.
11 
“If they hear and serve Him,
They will end their days in prosperity
And their years in pleasures.
12 
“But if they do not hear, they shallb Lit pass awayperish by the sword
And they will die without knowledge.
13 
“But the godless in heart lay up anger;
They do not cry for help when He binds them.
14 
“c Or Their soul diesThey die in youth,
And their life perishes among the cult prostitutes.
15 
“He delivers the afflicted ind Lit histheir affliction,
And opens their eare Or in adversityin time of oppression.
16 
“Then indeed, He enticed you from the mouth of distress,
Instead of it, a broad place with no constraint;
And that which was set on your table was full off Or rich foodfatness.
17 
“But you were full of judgment on the wicked;
Judgment and justice take hold of you.
18 
“Beware that wrath does not entice you to scoffing;
And do not let the greatness of the ransom turn you aside.
19 
“Will yourg Or cryriches keep you from distress,
Or all the forces of your strength?
20 
“Do not long for the night,
When peopleh Lit go upvanish in their place.
21 
“Be careful, do not turn to evil,
For you have preferred this to affliction.
22 
“Behold, God is exalted in His power;
Who is a teacher like Him?
23 
“Who has appointed Him His way,
And who has said, ‘You have done wrong’?
24 
“Remember that you should exalt His work,
Of which men have sung.
25 
“All men have seen it;
Man beholds from afar.
26 
“Behold, God is exalted, and we do not know Him;
The number of His years is unsearchable.
27 
“For He draws up the drops of water,
They distill rain fromi Lit itsthej Or floodmist,
28 
Which the clouds pour down,
They drip upon man abundantly.
29 
“Can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds,
The thundering of Hisk Lit boothpavilion?
30 
“Behold, He spreads Hisl Lit lightlightning about Him,
And He covers the depths of the sea.
31 
“For by these He judges peoples;
He gives food in abundance.
32 
“He covers His hands with them Lit lightlightning,
And commands it to strike the mark.
33 
“Its noise declaresn Lit concerning HimHis presence;
The cattle also, concerning what is coming up.

Job, Chapter 37

1 
“At this also my heart trembles,
And leaps from its place.
2 
“Listen closely to the thunder of His voice,
And the rumbling that goes out from His mouth.
3 
“Under the whole heaven He lets it loose,
And Hisa Lit lightlightning to the ends of the earth.
4 
“After it, a voice roars;
He thunders with His majestic voice,
And He does not restrainb Lit themthe lightnings when His voice is heard.
5 
“God thunders with His voice wondrously,
Doing great things which we cannot comprehend.
6 
“For to the snow He says, ‘Fall on the earth,’
And to thec Lit shower of rain and shower of rainsdownpour and the rain, ‘Be strong.’
7 
“He seals the hand of every man,
That all men may know His work.
8 
“Then the beast goes into its lair
And remains in itsd Lit densden.
9 
“Out of thee Lit chambersouth comes the storm,
And out of thef Lit scattering windsnorth the cold.
10 
“From the breath of God ice is made,
And the expanse of the waters is frozen.
11 
“Also with moisture He loads the thick cloud;
He disperses the cloud of Hisg Lit lightlightning.
12 
“It changes direction, turning around by His guidance,
Thath Lit theyit may do whatever He commandsi Lit themit
On the face of the inhabited earth.
13 
“Whether forj Lit the rodcorrection, or for His world,
Or for lovingkindness, He causes it tok Lit be foundhappen.
14 
“Listen to this, O Job,
Stand and consider the wonders of God.
15 
“Do you know how God establishes them,
And makes thel Lit lightlightning of His cloud to shine?
16 
“Do you know about the layers of the thick clouds,
The wonders of one perfect in knowledge,
17 
You whose garments are hot,
When the land is still because of the south wind?
18 
“Can you, with Him, spread out the skies,
Strong as a molten mirror?
19 
“Teach us what we shall say to Him;
We cannot arrange our case because of darkness.
20 
“Shall it be told Him that I would speak?

21 
“Nown Lit theymen do not see the light which is bright in the skies;
But the wind has passed and cleared them.
22 
“Out of the north comes golden splendor;
Around God is awesome majesty.
23 
“The Almighty—we cannot find Him;
He is exalted in power
And He will not do violence to justice and abundant righteousness.
24 
“Therefore men fear Him;
He does not regard any who are wise of heart.”
