Job 36:1-10
English Standard Version
Chapter 36
1And Elihu continued, and said:
2"Bear with me a little, and I will show you, for I have yet something to say on God 's behalf.
3I will get my knowledge from afar and ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
4For truly my words are not false; one who is perfect in knowledge is with you.
5"Behold, God is mighty, and does not despise any; he is mighty in strength of understanding.
6He does not keep the wicked alive, but gives the afflicted their right.
7He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne he sets them forever, and they are exalted.
8And if they are bound in chains and caught in the cords of affliction,
9then he declares to them their work and their transgressions, that they are behaving arrogantly.
10He opens their ears to instruction and commands that they return from iniquity.
