Holy Bible - Revised Standard Version(RSV)

36:1	And Eli'hu continued, and said:
36:2	'Bear with me a little, and I will show you, for I have yet something to say on God's behalf.
36:3	I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
36:4	For truly my words are not false;one who is perfect in knowledge is with you.
36:5	'Behold, God is mighty, and does not despise any;he is mighty in strength of understanding.
36:6	He does not keep the wicked alive, but gives the afflicted their right.
36:7	He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but with kings upon the throne he sets them for ever, and they are exalted.
36:8	And if they are bound in fetters and caught in the cords of affliction,
36:9	then he declares to them their work and their transgressions, that they are behaving arrogantly.
36:10	He opens their ears to instruction, and commands that they return from iniquity.
36:11	If they hearken and serve him, they complete their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasantness.
36:12	But if they do not hearken, they perish by the sword, and die without knowledge.
36:13	'The godless in heart cherish anger;they do not cry for help when he binds them.
36:14	They die in youth, and their life ends in shame.
36:15	He delivers the afflicted by their affliction, and opens their ear by adversity.
36:16	He also allured you out of distress into a broad place where there was no cramping, and what was set on your table was full of fatness.
36:17	'But you are full of the judgment on the wicked;judgment and justice seize you.
36:18	Beware lest wrath entice you into scoffing;and let not the greatness of the ransom turn you aside.
36:19	Will your cry avail to keep you from distress, or all the force of your strength?
36:20	Do not long for the night, when peoples are cut off in their place.
36:21	Take heed, do not turn to iniquity, for this you have chosen rather than affliction.
36:22	Behold, God is exalted in his power;who is a teacher like him?
36:23	Who has prescribed for him his way, or who can say, Thou hast done wrong'?
36:24	'Remember to extol his work, of which men have sung.
36:25	All men have looked on it;man beholds it from afar.
36:26	Behold, God is great, and we know him not;the number of his years is unsearchable.
36:27	For he draws up the drops of water, he distils his mist in rain
36:28	which the skies pour down, and drop upon man abundantly.
36:29	Can any one understand the spreading of the clouds, the thunderings of his pavilion?
36:30	Behold, he scatters his lightning about him, and covers the roots of the sea.
36:31	For by these he judges peoples;he gives food in abundance.
36:32	He covers his hands with the lightning, and commands it to strike the mark.
36:33	Its crashing declares concerning him, who is jealous with anger against iniquity.
