Jb 36 (King James)

¹ Elihu also proceeded, and said,
² Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf.
³ I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
⁴ For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.
⁵ Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
⁶ He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.
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.
⁸ And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;
⁹ Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.
¹⁰ He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.
¹¹ If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
¹² But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
¹³ But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.
¹⁴ They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
¹⁵ He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.
¹⁶ Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness.
¹⁷ But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.
¹⁸ Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.
¹⁹ Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
²⁰ Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
²¹ Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
²² Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
²³ Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?
²⁴ Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
²⁵ Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.
²⁶ Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
²⁷ For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:
²⁸ Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.
²⁹ Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?
³⁰ Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.
³¹ For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.
³² With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.
³³ The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.

Jb 36 (Vulgate)

¹ Addens quoque Eliu, hæc locutus est :
² [Sustine me paululum, et indicabo tibi : adhuc enim habeo quod pro Deo loquar.
³ Repetam scientiam meam a principio, et operatorem meum probabo justum.
⁴ Vere enim absque mendacio sermones mei, et perfecta scientia probabitur tibi.
⁵ Deus potentes non abjicit, cum et ipse sit potens :
⁶ sed non salvat impios, et judicium pauperibus tribuit.
⁷ Non auferet a justo oculos suos : et reges in solio collocat in perpetuum, et illi eriguntur.
⁸ Et si fuerint in catenis, et vinciantur funibus paupertatis,
⁹ indicabit eis opera eorum, et scelera eorum, quia violenti fuerunt.
¹⁰ Revelabit quoque aurem eorum, ut corripiat : et loquetur, ut revertantur ab iniquitate.
¹¹ Si audierint et observaverint, complebunt dies suos in bono, et annos suos in gloria :
¹² si autem non audierint, transibunt per gladium, et consumentur in stultitia.
¹³ Simulatores et callidi provocant iram Dei, neque clamabunt cum vincti fuerint.
¹⁴ Morietur in tempestate anima eorum, et vita eorum inter effeminatos.
¹⁵ Eripiet de angustia sua pauperem, et revelabit in tribulatione aurem ejus.
¹⁶ Igitur salvabit te de ore angusto latissime, et non habente fundamentum subter se : requies autem mensæ tuæ erit plena pinguedine.
¹⁷ Causa tua quasi impii judicata est : causam judiciumque recipies.
¹⁸ Non te ergo superet ira ut aliquem opprimas : nec multitudo donorum inclinet te.
¹⁹ Depone magnitudinem tuam absque tribulatione, et omnes robustos fortitudine.
²⁰ Ne protrahas noctem, ut ascendant populi pro eis.
²¹ Cave ne declines ad iniquitatem : hanc enim cœpisti sequi post miseriam.
²² Ecce Deus excelsus in fortitudine sua, et nullus ei similis in legislatoribus.
²³ Quis poterit scrutari vias ejus ? aut quis potest ei dicere : Operatus es iniquitatem ?
²⁴ Memento quod ignores opus ejus, de quo cecinerunt viri.
²⁵ Omnes homines vident eum : unusquisque intuetur procul.
²⁶ Ecce Deus magnus vincens scientiam nostram : numerus annorum ejus inæstimabilis.
²⁷ Qui aufert stillas pluviæ, et effundit imbres ad instar gurgitum,
²⁸ qui de nubibus fluunt quæ prætexunt cuncta desuper.
²⁹ Si voluerit extendere nubes quasi tentorium suum,
³⁰ et fulgurare lumine suo desuper, cardines quoque maris operiet.
³¹ Per hæc enim judicat populos, et dat escas multis mortalibus.
³² In manibus abscondit lucem, et præcepit ei ut rursus adveniat.
³³ Annuntiat de ea amico suo, quod possessio ejus sit, et ad eam possit ascendere.]
