| 36:3 | I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker. | I lift up my knowledge from afar, And to my Maker I ascribe righteousness. |
| 36:4 | For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee. | For, truly, my words `are' not false, The perfect in knowledge `is' with thee. |
| 36:5 | Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and |
Lo, God `is' mighty, and despiseth not, Mighty `in' power `and' heart. |
| 36:6 | He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the |
He reviveth not the wicked, And the judgment of the poor appointeth; |
| 36:7 | 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. | He withdraweth not from the righteous His eyes, And `from' kings on the throne, And causeth them to sit for ever, and they are high, |
| 36:8 | And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction; | And if prisoners in fetters They are captured with cords of affliction, |
| 36:9 | Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded. | Then He declareth to them their work, And their transgressions, Because they have become mighty, |
| 36:10 | He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity. | And He uncovereth their ear for instruction, And saith that they turn back from iniquity. |
| 36:11 | If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures. | If they do hear and serve, They complete their days in good, And their years in pleasantness. |
| 36:12 | But if they obey not, |
And if they do not hearken, By the dart they pass away, And expire without knowledge. |
| 36:13 | But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them. | And the profane in heart set the face, They cry not when He hath bound them. |
| 36:14 | Their soul dieth in youth, And their life among the defiled. | |
| 36:15 | He delivereth the |
He draweth out the afflicted in his affliction, And uncovereth in oppression their ear. |
| 36:16 | Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and |
And also He moved thee from a strait place, `To' a broad place -- no straitness under it, And the sitting beyond of thy table Hath been full of fatness. |
| 36:17 | But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee. | And the judgment of the wicked thou hast fulfilled, Judgment and justice are upheld -- because of fury, |
| 36:18 | Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot |
Lest He move thee with a stroke, And the abundance of an atonement turn thee not aside. |
| 36:19 | Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength. | Doth He value thy riches? He hath gold, and all the forces of power. |
| 36:20 | Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place. | Desire not the night, For the going up of peoples in their stead. |
| 36:21 | Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction. | Take heed -- do not turn unto iniquity, For on this thou hast fixed Rather than `on' affliction. |
| 36:22 | Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him? | Lo, God doth sit on high by His power, Who `is' like Him -- a teacher? |
| 36:23 | Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity? | Who hath appointed unto Him his way? And who said, `Thou hast done iniquity?' |
| 36:24 | Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold. | Remember that thou magnify His work That men have beheld. |
| 36:25 | Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off. | All men have looked on it, Man looketh attentively from afar. |
| 36:26 | Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out. | Lo, God `is' high, And we know not the number of His years, Yea, there `is' no searching. |
| 36:27 | For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof: | When He doth diminish droppings of the waters, They refine rain according to its vapour, |
| 36:28 | Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly. | Which clouds do drop, They distil on man abundantly. |
| 36:29 | Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle? | Yea, doth `any' understand The spreadings out of a cloud? The noises of His tabernacle? |
| 36:30 | Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth |
Lo, He hath spread over it His light, And the roots of the sea He hath covered, |
| 36:31 | For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance. | For by them He doth judge peoples, He giveth food in abundance. |
| 36:32 | With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt. | By two palms He hath covered the light, And layeth a charge over it in meeting, |
| 36:33 | The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour. | He sheweth by it `to' his friend substance, Anger against perversity. |
